#1 of 62 Autoride Suspension by suburbangirl Mar 13, 2006 (4:07 pm)
Does anyone have any feedback good or bad, on the autoride suspension. Is it squirrely on the road? Is it worth the expense when you have to replace the shocks and autoride parts? I have heard it is $600 a piece???? Replies to this message: magyver (Aug 08, 2006 6:51 pm)

I have a 2006 Tahoe with Autoride. If you pull a trailer that will pull the rear of your tahoe down when you put it on the hitch it is worth it. I only have a small utility trailer so its really no big deal. The ride with out a trailer is no different than any other tahoe. Waste of money unless you have a big boat or heavy travel trailer.

Replying to: jvette (Apr 30, 2006 4:17 pm) I've had the auto-ride on an '01 Denali, and '05 Denali, and now on my '07 Escadade. I also pull a 4500 lb boat/trailer combo, with about 350 lbs on the tongue. It is definetly a good solution in my case. I previously had a '96 suburban, that had a regular 1500 suspension. When we went camping, and really loaded the back up, attached the boat, we looked like we were doing a wheeling down the interstate.   As far as the auto-ride with regular driving, I can't compare it to anything else. However, most agree it is a superior ride because it adapts to the road quality.   Dave Replies to this message: 06suburban (May 10, 2006 8:49 am)

Replying to: awf_axis (May 02, 2006 10:49 am) Dave, I have an 06, 3/4 ton Suburban with autoride. I hooked up my boat and the truck droped down 1 inch. My suspention did not do anything. How far down does it have to go down before it will come back up? and how far will it come back up? I have a 3 axle trailer weighing about 6000 with the boat, and I am trying to get the correct height on the toung to keep the trailer level. Any suggestions? Thanks Todd
#5 of 62 autoride compressor full of sand by tromblz Jun 28, 2006 (10:24 am)
I own a '02 tahoe with the autoride suspension, it started working intermitently, then stopped completely. Well I took it apart and found that it was comletely corroded and full of sand from inside out. Anyone know how this could happen. I have not done any off roading with this vehicle.

Replying to: tromblz (Jun 28, 2006 10:24 am) Todd,   I have a 2001 3/4 ton and I asked the same question on another board. This is the reply I got,   "There is no load levelling on the 3/4 ton Suburbans--only on the 1/2 tons. Autoride on 3/4 ton is adjustable valving shocks only."   Seems to me that the 3/4 would need the load leveling more than the 1/2 ton but what do I know.   Lee

Replying to: suburbangirl (Mar 13, 2006 4:07 pm) $325 a peice but I like it. After 90k still no problems. Also in tow mode, it firms up the suspension a bit. Nice for the twisty roads empty.

Has anyone ever had to replace shocks with autoride ? Is there anything available other than monroe shocks ? Replies to this message: jrusso1 (Nov 17, 2006 8:59 pm)

Replying to: rock69 (Aug 15, 2006 7:19 pm) did you ever find out what was wrong with your Denali? I have a Yukon and it has the same problem ... the autoride took a vacation about two weeks ago. You can hear the switch coming on but the pump doesn't work
