Hi all,
I bought my 2014 Limited last June (2021) and it’s been awesome. Air suspension worked great up until the winter. It seems, especially when it’s cold out, that the air suspension gets all jacked up on the highway. When in Aero mode, no matter the time of year, the truck pulls left - needs about a 10 degree steering wheel input to the right to balance it out. It also seems to lean lower on the driver’s side. Even had a time in February where the left side was visibly lower than the right, would not level, and a “payload capacity reached” code lit up.
Dealership diagnosed this as a faulty compressor, $2000 fix, with an unknown ETA of part arrival. It sat at the dealer for 7 weeks before I finally said cancel the order and give me my truck back. I had them refill the system with nitrogen, in hopes of removing any moisture throughout the lines, and it still pulls left when Aero mode activates.
Does anyone have a similar situation with advice/insight? I am at a loss for words. System goes through all the different heights without issues for 90% of the year, but there’s definitely a problem with Aero mode.
I just purchased the equipment necessary for AlfaOBD and plan to adjust the ride height settings on the left side in order to balance this out. Not sure if this will fix it or not. Trying to explore some options before a $2000 compressor repair or a $2600 air suspension delete/swap to conventional suspension.
Any insight is appreciated.
