I needed to move the X around outside since my garage is occupied with a larger project (that is now getting tossed due to the weather)... SOOOO, I did the swap prior to getting the coding working... Now that the coding is going, I triggered something in the Air Ride module using INPA when I was trying to get the EGS into SPORT mode so it would talk to the TCM...

I think I'll swap back... And with new front bags too... Maybe all four if the rear aren't too expensive... The front need to be new regardless...




Yes!! All great points... I did a complete tear down of the motor with new bearings and block conditioning... Heads were completely torn down and rebuilt with all new seals and gaskets... I even made my own bench-mounted valve spring compressor for this motor... It was pretty, sitting on the engine stand, right before it was to get installed... Looked like new, out of the box...

I got INPA, NCS Expert, and WinKFS to work in attempts to get my EGS trans module programmed (still working on that)... I got all this Air Ride working AFTER I did the coil swap.... I must have reset the Air Ride while I talking to the other modules in the vehicle... I have heard great things about Arnott... I did plan on going that route and will probably do all four corners...

Well, that is two in favor of swapping back... Three, if you count me too... So, I think I will swap back, but keep the parts on hand in event I need to keep it on the road in a hurry...

Thanks all!!! Gotta update my photobucket!! Out of room for more pictures...

Cheers for now!!

Excuse my ignorance, I had no idea that this was a 15 page thread since March! Hahahahaha, nevertheless glad to hear that yours is running smoothly again, I have a little project brewing up on an 06 4.4 myself, some valve stem seals and 2 axle air suspension work. Hopefully it won't be too tedious and I look forward with working all of you in the future .
