That and if you don't hear a compressor kick on shortly after starting it up you don't have it. Every Expy with the Air suspension I have been in is quite noisy when you first start it up as you hear the compressor come on.
I got rid of mine and converted to springs when I started to have problems with it specifically for me it was the drivers front air shock/strut.

I'm going to have to pop the hood and have someone else start the truck so I can figure out what I'm listening for...

Check air line union under/near brake master cylinder
CHeck the air line connection that is under brake master cylinder. May have popped off/disconnected. Happened to me; reconnected and moving right along. I ordered the SPider Jr. to replace the air line union. Will connect when it arrives.

This is where I purchased mine for my 98 Expy. Put them in myself and they are awesome, no problems!

I just put springs on mine finally. There was a leak in the line and the compressor burned up.
I really like the load leveling suspension, but I felt like I needed to replace all the components with as many miles as my truck has, and the springs will do the trick for now!

200 bucks well spent. Installation took only a couple of hours and the ride is at least as good as before, if not even better.
The only regret I have is that I didn't change the rear shocks while I was under there. Oh well...
