service air ride
Well fellows I finally received my new air pump from Arnott Industries today ($192.00 shipped). Install was easy. What I had to do was, use factory wire connection plug, splicing new wires with old. I elected to solder wires then shrink wrap them. I also had to find a new bolt, nut and corresponding washers for the air dryer, the new Arnott did NOT have a threaded bracket like the factory orignal.
**A word of caution, When I disconnected the air line itself there is a U shaped plastic retainer. It was brittle and snapped in half. I used some small baling wire to temporarily hold it, I am heading to the dealer for a new this afternoon. The U retainer is not included in the Arnott kit (should be)! After install started truck and no more "service air ride" yippeee |

Carl, from start to finish about 1 1/2 hours. I should have taken pictures of the procedure and possibly asked for one of the mods here to FAQ them with full details. I was just to excited to install it. If anyone here evers asks I will redo the procedure and post pics if requested. That would take less than a half hour.
