I swapped my D2 from airbags to coils today and pulled the fuse under the hood for the sls. While driving a few miles, I noticed the light for sls never came on. However, when parked the truck, I noticed a clicking noise from where the compressor is. I pulled the 2 plugs from the compressor and started the truck up. Now the light is on. No clicking. Have I properly shut off the system for the day so it won't kill my battery trying to deflate bags that don't exist? I will have a shop set the computer to coils monday, but don't want to have my battery go flat overnight.
Air bags to coils and keeping a battery for the night.

Looks like the battery is unaffected from sitting overnight. I drove the truck after unhooking the compressor connectors and height sensors last night, then drove a couple miles. The sls alarm was chiming constantly when the truck reached 20+ m.p.h. This morning, the light is till on, but no chime. Onward.
I did the same conversion back in 2004...it will kill the battery eventually if you don't start it up every day or two. Reprogramming the SLABS fixed it for me.
I got it all sorted. Took the truck in to a shop with the expensive computer to program it to coils. They also programmed my key fob. For the first time in my life, I own a vehicle with keyless entry (that works, anyway).
