Im not sure what my problem is. I cant hear the pump from the cabin. Ive only done the front bags.

I cleared the code the first time and it came back few days after. I cleared it again on I think friday so im waiting to see what happen.

Today I noticed one side of my reear was about 1/2 inch higher than the other. Lowered the truck and raised it back to normal and it was 1/4 inch off.

i dont know right now. all I know is im getting headaches from this truck that i got in june with 57k miles.
Does the Suspension Inact light come on shortly after driving away after leaving it outside below zero and the suspension ride becomes really hard if so then the repair kit for the pump would be a really good move, its easy to fit

The arms on your vehicle may be horizontal but that is not always the case. The arms move up and down based on ride height. As an example, when I load up a half a yard of manure, it causes the arm to move which lets the air suspension know to compensate.

i usually try to make it home, or at least to the nearest McD before UNloading YARDS of the manure - trying to keep the interior limited to only few cubic inches of it!!!!

The first time it came on was when I pulled into a parking spot. As I pulled into the spot the light came on. I dont remember when it came on the second time. The temp wasnt below zero, but it was cold that day.

Im going to buy the repair kit anyway since its cheap.
