How hard is it to install the autopilot to my existing air suspension. Any help would be good.

probably not hard, just pull out whatever wiring you have to the switches now and then just put in the sending units

after seeing it in action at hin last weekend, think i may have to look into one myself when i find some more money.


silverfire, did you ever take care of your camber issue on the front?

mine the driver side i'm also having another problem, when i'm dumping the air for the front passenger side the strut won't go all the way down, so i'm thinking maybe i need to clean the dump valve. Anyone has this problem.

that has nothing to do with what type of setup your going to use. switching to the auto pilot will not fix your camber problems. take it to a shop and get it aligned and you should be fine

i know the auto systems won't fix that, i just have those two problem and i have taken the car to get aligned twice already.

If you are still having camber issues after 2 alignments then something is broken. Check to make sure your hub is still in one piece. Or Maybe they just did a bad alignment twice.

What they told me to do with mine, when I got it aligned, was to lower it to where i normally drive it, and it'll be aligned to that height. Also that I would have to align it at least once every 3 months.

im having some camber issues on my fronts also. but i have yet to get it aligned. need to do that soon!! id really like to see the digital setup in action myself. looks nice

but i love how mine jumps with the switches. wonder if that would change or not. someone told me it fills a lil slower digital as opposed to switches. any idea??

hmm im having the same camber issue... passanger side...

and now the strut seems to not want to operate smoothly

im wondering if they are flip floped side to side.. like the pass is on the driver and vise versa

You know that little button on top of a baseball hat? I cant tell you how many times I rammed that thing into my head.



And what is this Autopilot stuff anyway? I havnt looked into air stuff in a long while. my truck has been on Jackstands for about 3-4 months now. I cant pull myself out of the SOl long enough to do anything else.

And Im finaly starting to mis my old cavy. I do have a brand new pair of Easystreets that need a home. If I dont sell them I guess I'll have to buy another J to give them a home.


I am all that is man

autopilot is just another fancy thing like the dakota digital gauges except w/ this everything can be controlled from this one digital remote. it gives you readings of all 4 corners plus tank pressure and you can adjust the heights w/ the remote but the only down fall is there is only 4 buttons to it

^ yep i have it.. its nice.. To me it fills very fast. with 1/2 inch line. Its went from 20 psi per will to 100psi in a second...

i see no pic silver lol.



i like how the autopilot will automatically set all 4 to the settings you put in. i always have to tap the switches to get it leveled out to drive. just takes a bit getting used to how hard u need to pop the switch. of course im just running a single switch to all 4 switches cause im poor like that lol

lol.. its nice with digital kit.. I will be riding down the road and it will balance the car out. Which my kit is pretty air tight so it doesn't do it much.. Mostly when i raise it all the way up to go into my apt complex ( has huge speed bump things ) then i hit the ride lvl button and you hear it lowering everything.

yeah that be nice because with me i just basically raise it up high to get into and out of my house (big curb) lower it to ride hide, and then drop it down when i park.


it just bothers me when my needles arnt exactly perfect together lol

^^ how does that work. Different pressures for different parts of your kit?

Is yours a daily driver?
