On any given day, the air ride suspension in my Denali would normally pump for about 5-8 seconds at start up....no problem... Well, after towing the boat last week on a 20 mile round trip to the lake, the compressor now runs for 2 MINUTES on start up!! After a day or two, it's still doing the same thing so I decided to crank the truck and put my ear by the compressor to listen for a possible leak... As my luck would have it, I can hear a bit of a 'hissing' sound while the compressor is running. There is no 'Service Air Ride' warning light illuminating on the dash, so I don't think there's any bad sensors or check valve so I'm thinking I can rule out electrical. My initial thought is that maybe the tongue weight of the boat has blown out the upper boot of that left shock causing a leak?? Again, the compressor is shutting off, but it's taking ALOT longer than normal. Anyone else seen or heard of this or a similar problem. If I have to replace the shocks, I'm thinking of going with shocks from Arnott Industries as I've heard they're half the price of the OEM from the dealer and hold up well.. Thanks for any info..
