Consumer Description

WHEN BELOW 20 DEGREES THE AIR SUSPENSION LOSES ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER RIDE HEIGHT. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL SIT NOSE DOWN, REAR DOWN, OR ALL BUT ONE CORNER DOWN. USUALLY AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLDER TEMPS IS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO DO THIS HOWEVER ONCE IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS THE TRUCK TYPICALLY BLOWS THE 40A FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIR SUSPENSION WHICH RENDERS IT INOPERABLE UNTIL REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT SEES COLDER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SYSTEM GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SORT OF SPEED.
