2021 Ram Air Suspension Issue

Just curious if anybody else had any issues with air suspension on their 2021 Ram? Bought mine with 69mi one day and next morning noticed the driver side front pretty much 3.75 “ from top of wheel/tire to body. Pretty much sitting on bump stops. Soon as you unlock it, or start it the compressor kicks in and raises up to normal heightView attachment 75913View attachment 75914 No air leak (well that’s what dealer told me) no codes came up and no lights on dashboard. They are thinking it’s the module (valve sticking) so waiting to see if that fixes it. Been sitting at the shop for a week now, barely got to drive it so a bit frustrated but it is what it is. Just curious is anyone else had this issue.
Do you have any updates ? I have the same problem with my limited. It’s been at the dealer for 4 months with no fix. They claim they can’t communicate with the ascm. I’ve been fighting with ramcare also which I just end up with no answers from anyone.

I've been having an ongoing issue myself, with no clear answers. The issue went away for a while after I replaced the front shocks/air bags but now it'll hold nitrogen for a couple days then arbitrarily decide to spit out all the nitrogen. The air bags, lines, and fittings all show no signs of a leak. Going to test all the ride height sensors for proper function and if that reveals nothing I'm going to replace the compressor because I assume it's some electrical issue with the computer unit attached to the compressor. But who knows.

Interesting. So it is actually going to venting?

Yeah. It'll be fine for a couple days, but then I'll go outside and either the rear or the whole truck will have dropped to entry/exit level. When I open a door the system kicks out the rest of the air (can hear it venting out). I still need to test the ride height sensors, but got a great deal on a new compressor so I'll get around to installing that sometime this weekend.

I'm having the same issue a couple of years later...what was the fix?
 
I was hoping that I would never have to chime in on my woes in this discussion but the air suspension on my 2021 limited has given up. My car is currently sitting in my garage looking like its been lowered, I took it to the dealer last week and they asked for $5000 for repairs and they wont even tell me what the problem is. After a bit of research and some 'Youtubing' I came across Truck Central's channel and saw his airdelete.com conversion video and I am thinking of going down that route. I never really used the air suspension adjustments and to be honest I had no issues with it either until now, but 5K is just too steep and I am sure its probably just the reservoir, but living in a country where everything is Monopolized...this is what happens.

The only thing I am really curious about is the ride quality after the conversion. Its either Eibach or Bilstein, air delete told me the Eibach kit is a little stiffer that the Bilstein kit which works for me because I do have a heavy foot. I have also stored my OEM 22 inch wheels and have OEM 20 inch wheels wrapped in Goodrich K02s so that might help a bit with the Eibach kit.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

I'll be going with the Bilstein version eventually.

I don't think you'll notice much difference in ride quality honestly.
