'03 Autoride Fix...

[EOBerg]

I recently purchased an '03 Tahoe LT w/ Autoride. Upon start it tells me I need to service it. I've read threads and found that I could get the main components at a decent price here:

My only question is, even once I replace all of this, I could still have bad lines and bigger, bad sensors. Does anyone know what I'm looking at, cost wise, is the sensors are bad as well. I know I have some leaks in the shocks, that's why I'm starting there but as with anything. Replacing one component often leads you to find others that are bad as well. Any info is greatly appreciated.

For the most part you really need to get the DTCs out of the ALRC module it does require a scan tool that has those capabilities... hard to come by other than the dealership.. but if your air shocks are leaking chances are that the ALRC compressor assy got smoked from constant running due to the leaking shocks

I appreciate the response. I may just run it as is for now. Fresh home from Afghanistan and don't want to spend all my money that I saved at once.

De nada.. but most importantly THANK YOU !!! for your brave and courageous service.. my prayers and wishes are that your PTS isnt to bad and that you are healthy.. THANK YOU AGAIN !!!

Choosing not to dump my money into my '02 Tahoe w/ 322K on it has helped me manage my stress. But this Autoride could push me. Copious amounts of coffee and the fact that there is the color green (grass and trees, for now...) has kept me grounded. It's my pleasure to have served these last 12 years and I look forward to as many more.

AWESOME !!! Glad to hear your doing well... but just remember vehicles with a little time and money can be fixed and many may come and go.. but its your character..integrity... health... and the love of your family that are most important.. dont sweat the small stuff...
