Johnson Rod lift problems

It may be time for me to change out my compressor as well. Preventative maintenance is in order after six years of use! Keep us posted on what the outcome is.

Wow! It only took 3 panicked PR posts before the blatant self-promotion resumed -

If a hard-reset didn't help, how would the Faultmate help? Is this an example of a scenario I was asking about on a different thread in which having a Faultmate can get the EAS going again whereas a hard reset will not?

With the faultmate you can command the compressor to run and bring the pressure up in the system. Once the pressure is up you can re-enable the EAS. After all of that you can clear the faults and the system should run normally. Supposedly you can do this with out the faultmate by putting a jumper across the compressor relay. (I tried once unsuccesfully) With the faultmate it is just too easy to re-enable the system without risking componet damage.

FIXED! well, for now... It would seem that when I installed the rods one of the did not get seated all the way on. When I tested it out the lr3 it raised up like normal but one of the rods slipped off without my knowledge. I couldn't see this because the air bag leak caused the vehicle to lower on its stoppers. Not until I took the tires off to put back on the stock rods did I notice my error... With this said the air pump was very slow to raise it but i'm going to blame it sitting for so long and being so deflated. I am however going to still take it in under warranty to get that leak fixed and the compressor looked at before re-installing the Johnson rods. Thanks so much for your help everyone and I'll be posting pics of my custom hood, side exhaust, roof rack, headlamps, grill and paint job soon!

Glad to hear everything worked out. Look forward to seeing the finished product. Send me a picture for the website. Was that you ordering a second set?

Yes that was me, it's for my neighbor who is about to buy a lr3 himself. And I can't wait to get it back from the paint booth this weekend! Trust me I'll send and post plenty of pics of all the custom body work. Thanks again for all your help.
