I have family in town so the truck is loaded with weight. (7 people) When I'm on the highway doing about 65 or 70 the rear sways side to side kind of like if you were on a boat. What could it possibly be. Shocks? Sway bar bushings? What could I do to diagnose the issue. I have no warning lights.Tires have about 70% tread and are balanced with no shakes. Has anyone experienced this before?

Shocks, if not sway bar end links and/or bushings or link bushings

Are your wheels torqued to spec?

Have you checked the sway bar bushings?

I guess they are? How would I know if they are working right or not? Is there a way to test the air pump as well?

How much of a load (lbs) will trigger the pump to come on?

Well just looked at the compressor I unplugged the air line from the shock and nothing.....no air sound or hiss. I would guess the air pump and rear shocks need replacement? Crazy thing is I have zero warning lights, no engine lights. If the system was bad or leaking air wouldn't it give me a warning message of some sort? Unless the previous owner pulled the fuse. Can someone tell me which fuse controls the compressor please. (A pic would help)

Thanks

In all actuality if the fuse was pulled a warning message about servicing the suspension would show up. The only way it wouldn't was if a resistor was connected inline to the pump.

#71 - STUD 1 for the compressor
