Automatic level control U body (Van)

Aug 22, 2004 3 Replies

Hello Group, Does anyone have experience trouble shooting the automatic level control on the montana/venture U body? When loaded it seems the system leaks and the van rides low. The air commpressor cycles and air can be heard leaking. With only 2 or 3 passengers, it maintains level. Thanks, Martin


solution of soap and water in an spray bottle and spray the whole system note the appearance of air bubbles which indicate an leak.

I have inspected the lines and they don't seem to be the source of the problem. I know they are the most likely culprets. While under load, the system holds untill the relief solenoid engages and then has to re-cycle the compressor. It seems like the relief solenoid is causing the problem. Any experience with that being defective?

NAPA sells direct replacement *gas* shocks for these vans, replacing the troublesome air shocks. They run about $70 CDN each and make a world of difference.
