huh.... Punctuation! I don't mean to sound like a Dick, but my brain started hurting about 3/4 of the way into what you typed.

Try this: The next time you shut your car off and close the door, let the car vent to parked height, then turn off the air ride switch in the trunk.

Then drive the car with the switch off for a couple of days or until the car slams.

If it slams, you've got leaking airsprings. If it doesn't slam you might have a problem with your vent valve sticking open.

I've recently changed my front struts and compressor for similar issues,... it never vented when I closed the doors before, but has ever since....

I agree it sounds like you have leaking air struts. Because it is pumping up when started, it sounds like the compressor is ok....right now anyway. Keep in mind that the struts will always leak the worst while being driven down the road. Because the system is automatic, you really have no idea how many times it has come on. Usually by the time someone realizes they have a problem, it has already been leaking while being driven for at least 6-8 months. In other words, the system has already been huffing & puffing to keep up with the leak. The faster you diagnose and repair the problem, the smaller the repair bill.

I tend to do the same thing an awfull lot, but it does get hard to read at times...

Posted by: Frogman

And they wonder wtf is happening to todays society.

I know LvC is not a GrammAr (and spelling, in your case) school, but you know what? It's REALLY HARD to try helping out someone who:

1. Can't properly get his message across.
2. Doesn't seem to want to take the time to do so by at least trying to punctuate his posts.

Why should I help you, when you are too damned lazy to make sure your post makes sense, and has some resemblance of an effort put into it?

Forget it, I refuse do do battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Stop this NOW.

This post was created to help chris with an airride problem, not criticize someone's grammar issues. I am NOT the greatest with the english language either.

I can understand where frogman is comming from on the other side of this conflict. THIS is just not the place to do it.
