Service Air Ride. Options?

[jmyler]

So i've been hearing about it for the years i've owned my yukon and it finally happened to me. The dreaded service air ride. The compressor no longer comes on so i'm assuming that i developed a leak and burned up the compressor. So i have a few questions that i couldn't find searching.

1. What will i hurt if i just keep driving it? I honestly can't tell a bit of difference in the ride since it went out but i don't want to hurt anything else if i am. I can tell that the rear actually went down some and i like it more than it was before anyway.
2. Where are the best places to get these parts? Is it worth it to try to find used parts?
3. If i decide to just get rid of it does anyone have a list of everything i'll need to do?

Thanks for the help as always.

I say fix it. If you go to sell the truck later and you have monkeyd with it is bad for resale.

Yes

Phew, I was about to put biscuits in place of the air bags. Glad you responded so quickly.

Look around on that site. Pleanty of stuff. The link I posted eliminates the air ride stuff. I say keep your air ride and fix it.

This is perfect thanks man. I'm leaning towards keeping it for sure. The only thing i hate to lose is the little bit of ass end lowering that this broken suspension has given me. What would happen if i shaved a hair off of the rod that clicks on the compressor so it sits like it does now?

Wow that isn't nearly as expensive as i thought it would be. I was ready for $3k

I am pretty certain that you can do that. I will let someone else chime in that knows for certain.. .....

I know Tony NorcallSs does that all the tine after lowering.

The only reason I posted is because no one else did........ I did not want you to be a sad Panda.
