Found my 4.8is with slammed driver front 2 times in one week. Advice?

Lower the car to lowest setting, that would create less pressure than higher settings. A step in the right direction anyway. I think the instructions that comes with the new reman struts should tell you how to depressurize.

We were kidding around guys. I know it isn't rocket science, but instructions say to puncture hole. lol. I don't know, didn't get them yet. Tuesday.

So some strange shit happened. First day in Poconos, my driver front deflated again over night.

So I have to keep driving locally for random trips. All day its all good in the hood. At night, I decide to pull the two air fuses. I come to the car in the morning, it is not deflated.

I place fuses in, nothing changes, drive around all good. IT HAS NOT LOWERED ITSELF SINCE THAT DAY. WTF? Air ride fully functional, as I decided to off road a bit on the 5 mile dirt road, then a bit of rock crawling, till I realized that 20"s are not good. So I cut it off there. Some passes were quite interesting, knowing the contis would be rags if I proceed. But I was raising and lowering the car at will, with no ill effects or noises.

I pulled out INPA, no codes. WTFx2?

Pulled out DIS, no codes. WTFx3?

My left rear did pretty much exactly what you describe. I went out from work to lunch it was down. Drove, came back 2 days no issues (ordered bags day 1) deflated once a little 4-5 days later. When I got it out it had damage at the fold so I guess it was folded on the holes when it held.

Good luck hope you don't have any more issues.

Yea I am thinking along the same lines, the hole is covered up somewhere. And the off roading made it cover the hole up. I don't get it exactly, but I know that shit deflated 4 times now.

UPDATE:

Boy was I relieved to find the car slammed on the drivers side front today. Whew, back on track, hole in bag.

[e30cabrio]

I know how you feel. I just went through it & when it was staying I was thinking might be something else. Scary.

Yeah with the driving its possible the "leaky section" got covered up somehow and held, but sure enough, if you are losing pressure overnight, its definitely leaking, whether its slow or fast. Looking forward to hearing about you changing them out Slick!

[SlickGT1]

Well shit, now I can't drive the X at all. the bag is fully shot. Soft as a sponge. Tomorrow I will stay home and do the swap.

Holy crap the the replacement assembly is heavy. Gonna have a worker help me out, don't want to drop that shit while removing the line. I guess I don't have to worry about puncturing a hole in it now.

[Ricky Bobby]

told you to be careful about driving on a leaky bag my dude!

[SlickGT1]

It managed to handle the trip to Poconos and back, and then some city driving. Car feels like shit now. So unstable, wobbly, can't wait to get my X back on the road. I can't stand the F150 when I don't need to use it. I will post back tomorrow.
