That's just a guess though. Would have to try and find his post on the event. He just reminded me of it in my air suspension thread.

Coilovers get here tomorrow. Will weigh all the air stuff after it's out of the truck to see if I lose anything over all. Going to pull everything but the wiring.
I know I will gain some storage and am reconsidering where to put my amp rack now that the compressor turtle will be out of the way.

Here's his post in the thread:

Mine failed 4 years ago and was due to me effing around with the ride height via INPA and ISTA.

I got it to settle and enjoyed the lowered ride height...then two days later while driving...it deflated the fronts only and heard loud bang.

Both CV axles are bent .....very costly....Had to buy EHC2 module not cheap and Front CV axles.

Coded new with ISTA-P and left it alone since then.

So be careful...
