Howdy folks, its been awhile since I have stopped by, as the tank has been trouble free!

Just took the tank out for a Ski trip. While sitting at idle I noticed the air pump kept comming on and turning off. My first thought.... the luggage in the back.

Once we returned and unpacked, I took another gander at the rig. The driverside rear end is sitting about 2 inches lower than the passangerside. Besides the top obviously sitting lopsided, eyeing the bumper to the axle give the same result.

When ever the height control button is pressed, the passangerside begins to lift quicker than the driverside. However, within a few seconds the driverside shoots up and inflates at the same rate as the passangerside.

What gives? Is there a pressure sensor in the air bag that is going bad? or is it a leaky air bag? I am at a loss here.

Check the link arm directly inboard of the tire-it's probably broken. You can superglue/plastic weld it together until you get a new one.

I believe I located the arm. Is it about 4inches long, plastic, with some ribbing? If so, it is not broken. After a quick look over, everything else under the machine seems to be fine.

Check the otherside. AlecW had his system go haywire in Moab when one broke. BTW, A ziptie works great for that repair.
