you need a high end scanner (shop or dealer) to figure out which sensor (there are 3, 2 at the front 1 at the rear) normally they are unreliable POS that costs so much.

you can buy the sensors at amazon or ebay. dorman is the cheapest at $100 but quality is questionable so better stick with OEM if you have deep pockets.

I bought Dorman and installed both truck didn't respond. Had to end up getting OEM ones at the dealership to get truck suspension acting right again.

Don't sweat it, you're not the only one to have this same result with the Dorman sensors.

Wished I would have known before. I am starting to do small DIY projects and am amazed how many aftermarket parts don't work or have a reputation not to work. Its a shame so much money is wasted/stolen from consumers.

I just purchased a air suspension compressor from Arnott and they are an excellent go to. Customer service is top notch and knowledgeable. I think their air suspension parts are not too expensive. Another go to would be ID Cardid and they are carry Arnott parts that are cheaper than direct from Arnott website.

Something I forgot to add is that many folks are going to the conversion kit of coil over shocks. This is much cheaper and the only draw back is you will continue to get that air suspension warning light on the dash. However, you can turn that switch in the back off and it is easily canceled each time you start the engine.

Take a look.
