Air Suspension ???
I have done a search and didn't come up with anthing.
When the vehicle is being driven the front end comes up to a decent riding level, front and rear. When I turn the ignition off the front end loses air and sits all the way down (fast), but the back stays the same level. I have searched for leaks and haven't come up with anything. After the truck comes up to the level it should be at, the pump does not half to keep kicking on to maintain. I son't want to burn up the pump.
Any help would be great.
Thanks, Shep

I would think you have a leak somewhere----but I am not that familiar with the mechanics of the system.
There were some air suspension related posts in this forum----I am thinking within the last month or 6 weeks. I would recommend thumbing back through the individual posts page by page for the last two months and see if you find anything air suspension related. I have never had much luck running the search feature on the Ford forum. (I think I printed them out----will try to look through files and see what I find, but may be after Christmas getting back with you).
Its of interest to me----am running a '97 with air suspension. No problems so far-----but would presume its a matter of time.
edit: see today's post "air ride acting up" (continuation of one I was thinking of)----plus I think there were still others

Given the problems with air suspension, I'm converting mine to standard suspension. The following links give parts for both the conversion and air suspension repairs and also technical help for air suspension to help trouble shoot problems. Give them a shot.
