I'm looking at picking up a 2005 or 2006 Suburban and trying to decide between the 1/2 or 3/4 ton. More specifically, a 5.3L 1500 or a 6.0L 2500. The 1500 is exactly what I need but I don't want to deal with the Autoride (aka auto leveling) air suspension. And I'm worried about the 4L60 transmission on some of these. I'm sure its fine if it was mostly a family hauler, but I won't know if someone was towing too much until its too late. I don't plan on doing a lot of towing, and certainly nothing like long hauling 10,000lbs, so the 2500 is overkill but I've read the transmission, suspension, brakes are all better. But gas mileage and the rough ride are downsides. And the prices are higher, when you can find one. I'm leaning towards picking up a lower priced 1500 and swapping out the autoride, wth the risk of a transmission change at some point if I get a bad one. Anyone have comments or suggestions on this? And should I be worried about underbody rust on trucks from snow/salt states? I heard about folks replacing rusted out brake lines for a grand or so.

GMC Yukon Denali Autoride with no pressure in one shock
Humzilla posted a question in Ask the GM Technician
I have a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL with brand new Arnott OEM replacement shocks in the back and a new air ride compressor. For some reason, the rear passenger side shock is not getting any air pressure. I have tried replacing the ride height sensor with no luck. The shock appears to hold air. I have lifted the back off the ground, removed the air line, stretched the air bladder to full extension and then reattached the air line before lower the back end. When I do this, the air bladder appears to hold air. I have also tried removing the air line and manually manipulating the ride height sensor arm but cannot get any air to come through the line. Any ideas? thanks. -

Hi, I have a 2007 Avalanche LTZ like the title says. I just replaced the compressor and rear shocks about 1.5months ago. While subsequently changing the brakes I noticed the bladders on the rear shocks were already blown out... ugh. I got them warrantied and took them in to the shop to have them replaced. The shop is saying I need front shocks also, and he recommends not putting the rears on until I do the fronts. I'm under the impression the front doesn't have air and shouldn't affect the rears... Is there any reason I'm wrong on this? Also, could something else be wrong in the system that would have caused the recent ones to blow out that quick?? They are the ACDelco 580-451 OEM replacements. Thanks in advance for any help you can give, as this is getting frustrating quickly, and expensive!

My 2007 Denali was recently in an accident with pont of inpact at the driver rear tire near the compressor, shock, and leveling sensor. Prior to this I have replaced my rear shocks and compressor with Arnott factory replacement components and all have been working well and with no error codes. I have noticed that the compressor to level the rear suspension is not turning on at startup every time. However, I am not getting any error code. To start I want to confirm my memory servers me correct. Is the autoleveling compressor supposed to activate at startup every time?
