Odd air suspension problem.
My 2003 EB is driving me nuts. When I start it and start driving the compressor runs and the bags pump up like normal. The truck is always level when I go out to start it but after driving for a while and getting out of it, I noticed that the right front always sits lower than the rest of the truck. Also the compressor sometimes runs back to back and then the check air suspension light comes on. I figured I had a leak in the right front so I started the truck too air up the truck and it raised up like normal. The compressor stopped running so I shut it off and turned the air switch off. The front right was sitting about 3/4 of an inch lower than the rest of the wheels. I left it over night and it was the same in the morning, not lower. So do I have a leak or not? What should I check?

Disconnect the battery for a minute or so. Then see if it will level out. You might have a bad solenoid that leaks when it has power to it. There are, I think, 2 solenoids for the front. 1 is on the front frame rail and another is on the front cross member just in front of the crank dampener. There is only 1 height sensor for each end. You should also check the air inlet at the front shock with some soapy water as they are known to have issues.
