I've noticed over the past couple of days that the rear end on my truck is sagging terribly. Its a 2002 with SLS and after I leave it parked for a few hours, the bags are deflating or somethings leaking to let both sides down to basically nothing. Is this something that happens when it gets cold? We've been around 0-30 degrees for a couple of days, and this is the first i've noticed it. As soon as I start it, the compressor kicks on and the bags gets up, I'm just worried because I haven't seen it happen before. Any suggestions? Thanks.

By the way, I'll finally have something to contribute soon. I just finished a bike/ski rack that may interest some of you...will post soon.

Check the air line connections, where they attach to the compessor, under the truck. I had a simular problem (but not as severe). The nuts on the lines had become loose, and were easily tightened. Hope this helps.

Remove the SLS system and replace it with springs. That's what I did and you will never have problems with air bags again...springs don't fail.

mine goes down when I turn her off. The dealer says its to make loading easier....it does get back level when I start her back up. I sprayed a soapy solution on the lines and didn't find any leaks and then left it alone. Do I have a problem.
BTW the fob with the green button sometimes doesn't make the rear go up and down. I just live with it. the dash swith makes it go up.
