Expert Answers about Chevrolet Air Suspension Compressor Kit


  • Troubleshooting Air Lift Air Bag Kit That Leaks Air
  • Your Air Lift air springs on your 2016 Ford F-250, like the LoadLifter 5000 # AL88396, shouldn't be bleeding out/down when your pickup isn't running. If you have a compressor kit like the WirelessONE # AL25980 then the compressor may kick on when you start your pickup but aside from that you shouldn't lose the air out of the bags themselves. It sounds like you have a leak somewhere that needs to be fixed. Put some soapy water in a water bottle and go along your entire air line system and...

  • Troubleshooting Bounce Issues With A Gooseneck Horse Trailer
  • A sway bar isn't going to help reduce the bounce you've been experiencing with your horse trailer. It sounds to me like you have the PSI level of your air bags either too low or too high. If you don't already have an on-board compressor watch the PSI of your air bags and adjust accordingly to the weight of the trailer load then I recommend the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 130 psi # F2178. This compressor has a dual-gauge control...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 with Salt Spreader
  • 5,000 lbs in the bed of your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 is quite a bit of weight. First I'd recommend checking with Ram to be sure you aren't exceeding the capacity. For a super heavy setup like you have the suspension enhancement I would recommend is the Firestone Ride Rite Red Label Extreme Duty kit part # F2701 which can provide up to an additional 7,500 lbs of suspension support. You'll want a heavy duty compressor to fill the bags like the Firestone part # F2097. This will allow you to...

You'd want to basically go over the wiring of the kit but look specifically at the ground wire. Make sure it's making a solid connection to a clean surface.

  • Troubleshooting Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit Deflating in Extreme Cold on 2016 Ram
  • The best thing you can do is make sure you have additional air pressure in your # F2595 when the temperatures are going to be that low. According to Firestone, these air springs are tested to -40 so they are able to handle the cold you're experiencing. If you had them set at the correct psi at a higher temperature you're going to have to add extra air when you know it will reach those sub zero temps. More than likely the shop was heated to above freezing, so you're talking about at least...

  • Troubleshooting Compressor Running But No Change with Gauge and Air Bags
  • If you have a compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I # F2158 that runs but the gauge doesn't move and bags don't fill up then this means there is something blocked or disconnected between the compressor and the rest of the system. What you'll need to do to remedy this is check your air line. Start at the compressor and look for any places where the line may be damaged or clogged. It might help to use some soapy water to see if there are any places where the air is escaping so...

  • Air Lift Compressor Code A-14 Troubleshooting
  • The A14 error code on Air Lift compressor kits like the WirelessAIR part # AL74000 that you referenced indicates you have a bad ground on the compressors wiring. You'd want to basically go over the wiring of the kit but look specifically at the ground wire. Make sure it's making a solid connection to a clean surface. Should also check to make sure the compressor ground is connected to the harness and not to the chassis. This is typically the reason for this error if it's not the ground...

  • Firestone Ride-Rite Suspension System Compressor Runs for 1-Second Then Shuts Down
  • According to my technical contact at Firestone you can perform a test to eliminate the existing vehicle wiring as a cause for the problem. Use a spare 12V battery (or run jumper wires from the van battery directly to the compressor) to see if it still behaves the same way when directly connected to a power source. If the same error occurs (shutting down after 1-second of operation) this indicates an issue within the compressor unit. If the compressor behaves normally when directly connected...

  • Troubleshooting AirLift Wireless One Air Spring Compressor Kit AL25980
  • It sounds like you have had the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 installed in your 2014 Ram 1500 along with your new air spring kit. I spoke with my technical contact at Air Lift and there are a few things that can be checked. The compressor ground needs to be made at the truck frame (or battery negative post). If grounded at any other points the compressor may not be able to deliver full power. Also check for any pinched air lines or loose electrical connections.

  • Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor with Fail Error Code
  • We have spoken with Air Lift regarding the "FAIL" error message you are getting on the Air Lift Wireless Remote # AL73002 for your compressor system. They stated that if the remote is still working fine to inflate the bags and check their pressures, the error code is likely resulting from a couple different possible causes. The first possible cause might simply be a loose ground connection on the system. I recommend checking to make sure that your ground is secure and then try re-joining...

  • Should Air Lift Wireless ONE Compressor AL25980 Run Constantly?
  • The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 you have should kick on for a few seconds when you start your vehicle, and may kick on every now and then, but it should not be running constantly. Running constantly would mean you have a leak somewhere causing the compressor to need to run all of the time to keep it aired up. I recommend checking your air helper spring kit and compressor air lines with a soapy water mix to identify any leaks, and fix them. Once...

  • Troubleshooting Suspension Noise After Air Bag Installation In Coil
  • Typically the noise you hear after installing coil springs like the # F4170 is from the metal coils of your suspension rubbing something as the suspension moves. I had this happen on my car once when I installed air springs in it and the problem was that the rubber isolator at the top of the spring was positioned in such a way that it was allowing the metal coil of the spring to touch the frame of the vehicle. When the suspension moved noise was created. I had to go back and reposition...

  • Troubleshooting a Non-Functioning Air Compressor on a BrakeMaster Second Motorhome Kit
  • In the installation instructions for the Roadmaster BrakeMaster 9060, # RM-98300, they show two fuses wired in to the air compressor circuit. One 20 amp fuse on the power wire of the battery and a 10 amp fuse connected on the blue wire that runs from the ignition switch to the air compressor. Inspect these fuses and any poor or loose wiring connections. If possible use an external 12-volt source to connect to the compressor to see if it operates. If the compressor works, then the issue...

  • Troubleshooting Firestone Ride Rite Dual Leveling Kit Compressor Not Activating When Switches Used
  • Your dual air leveling kit will be very similar to the Firestone Air Command II # F2178. Since this is a universal kit there is no one certain place that you can look to find the fuse and relay for the compressor, but you will be able to trace the wiring from either the compressor itself or the switches inside your 2004 Ford Excursion. I have included a picture of how the wiring should be ran to both the fuse and relay so that you can trace your wiring. A Test Light # PTW2993 can also...

  • Why Is My AirLift Compressor Running Constantly
  • If your Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 is running constantly, then that would mean that you have a leak somewhere. You're going to need to check your air lines and your spring kit to identify the leaks and address them. To find them, you can run a soapy water mix through the air lines. Once the leaks are fixed, then your compressor should go back to normal.

  • Frozen Comp Error Troubleshooting Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System
  • According to Air Lift, there are a few things that can cause the frozen comp error code issue. The problem is likely an air leak between the manifold and the compressor or simply a weak compressor that would need to be replaced. To get the compressor running again so you can check for leaks, you can simply either undo your power and ground connection for 30 minutes or try pulling the fuse and resetting them. You can also clear the code from the app on your phone in Settings - Troubleshooting...
