    Found the leak! It was at the tee where the passenger side shock line connects. The shocks are holding air now, hopefully they still are in the morning

    Yeah, I didn't think I would actually have a disconnected connector, but sure enough that was the problem. It is hard to believe, but i was able to reattach it with one hand just by feel alone...which tells you how easily it could come apart again!

    I don't have access to a Tech2, so I guess I'll have to take the truck somewhere. I'll check for air leaks first though.

    Z55 rear air shock good/bad?

    I replaced the shocks, compressor(Dorman) and used the longer line from the kit 88987900 to run over to the passenger side shock. So the system parts are all new. I checked again this morning and could feel the shocks pump up, but they were flat when I checked after driving 30 min.

    Z55 rear air shock good/bad?

    The connector on the driver side frame rail was disconnected! I couldn't see what I was doing, but got it snapped together with one hand. The "Stabilitrak" and ABS error message are now gone. My last concern is that the shocks do not seem to stay pressurized. I can feel them pump up when the...

    I installed the new shocks, line and compressor. Now I'm getting a "service stabilitrac" message. Any suggestions? I know there is that connector on the passenger side that can get bumped while removing the shock, but it looks okay. Thanks.

    Z55 rear air shock good/bad?

    I took the old compressor off yesterday after watching a video. That nut inside the frame rail holding on the bracket is kinda crazy. If you drop the nut in there it's gone! It didn't happen, but I was afraid it might.. update: After removing the compressor I realized that nut doesn't have to...

    Z55 rear air shock good/bad?

    Just to recap this is a 2010 Tahoe LTZ. According to Rock Auto's website this part number(88987900) is for 2000-2006 Tahoe's, and an Amazon search says this won't fit a 2010. Is there another kit availabe or will this actually fit a 2010? Thanks.

    Z55 rear air shock good/bad?

    I managed to disconnect the hose at the compressor. I then put the end with the broken port in boiling water for a few minutes and was able to pull the port off the hose. The hose is clogged though. I tried running fishing line through it and couldn't get it to go more than 1/4" into the...
