service air ride control display on?

[_JaY_]

i was looking\in process of buying a tahoe southern comfort. that has aftermarket rims\wheels and the dealership said that the service air ride control is on because of them. would this be true?:umn:

I have autoride, and 24's and I don't have any problems...

They are full of sh*t, dealer that sold me my truck needed to replace the passenger front shock that was causing the system to throw a code. The larger or different wheels/tires on these trucks will not set off the autoride light, I'm guessing a $300 shock is out or one of the sensors took a crap.

Or it could just be the fuse blew. I pulled mine and it threw the svc air ride light.

ok, i don't think there is anything wrong with the suspension, cuz it rides like a dream... mabey i'll take it down to my shop and put the scanner on it.

Mine drove fine but the shock wasn't responding to valve adjustments so they replaced it. They should be able to find out what the issue is with a tech II scantool, shocks are cheap on ebay anyway.

yes, but i don't feel like ebay'n for a 25k vehicle lol. if i did anything i'd slam itt like 8 inches.

Shocks are shocks man, you can't run a shorter shock on these autoride trucks unless you find a way to disable the signal to the pcm or solder some resistors on each individual shock harness.

Yeah, what he said, except the shocks for autoride equipped trucks are stupid expensive. They run 200-400 bucks each depending on front/rear.
