I was pulling my boat to the lake yesterday when I noticed the rear of my truck drop to its lowest position. It also was riding really bad - no air suspension.

I got home and took a look at it. I found a hose above the driver side front tire that has separated from its connector. It looks like there is a splice in the hose for whatever reason and this hose must supply the rear air bags.

I'm not familiar with this type of connector and am wondering if it can be re-crimped, if a new connector can be spliced in, or the entire hose needs replacing.

Anyone know about this?

Thanks in advance.

common problem your dealer should stock it, its called an air line union.

push the that black ring towards teh broken part of the union and you should be able to pull the air line out of the broken part, do that on both sides and then you can just install the lines into the new union, push them in untill they click.

Thanks Jay. I'll check with the dealer tomorrow.
