$4.25 here in Michigan. Mileage getting slightly better now that things are warming up. Replaced the air filter last fall with a Mann and it helped. Ran an interesting experiment this past weekend. This is my wife's daily driver (stay at home mom). I keep the avg mpg on the display all the... -

Anybody else need new tie rods and bushings at 30K miles?
Truck pulling to left or right, steering wheel not on center, loose feeling in steering, steering not "smooth", particularly at slower speeds. -

Has anyone replaced suspension compressor themself?
I just picked up a lightly used compressor (LR015303) on eBay for $1.25. Really, the word "compressor" was misspelled in the title so no one saw it or bid on it. Anyway, I really don't need one YET but it makes sense to have a back up since I plan on keeping the truck for the long haul. I was... -

Air suspension compressor motor innards
I'm wondering, for those who have had the compressor replaced, if changing the valve-block was included and is that the recommended procedure? Also, what would be your interpretation of the compressor running too often for say the typical suburban roving LR3 where the height is not adjusted... -

Air suspension compressor motor innards
Great shots, thanks for posting. I love taking stuff like this apart as well to see how it works, what I can fix, what can be salavaged, etc. I wasn't really in the market but I just bought a good used compressor off eBay for almost nothing (literally). You indicated the motor burnt out, is... -

replacing air filter
Agreed. Service guidelines frequently specify disconnecting battery for many procedures. I seriously doubt the shops do it. -
