If you press the "raise" button does the truck raise? If it does the pump is good. If it doesn't the pump might have gone bad- if it is the original and your truck is an 08- it is about time.

Fully agree with what alx say. Happened to me and now I got 4 x new air shocks and 1 new AMK pump. All working fine now.
1 of my front shock at drive side (right, because I am in Australia) is sending back to Arnott and waiting for a refund due to air leaking.

thanks N_Jay.. shock absorber will come with air spring.. i hope it can be solved..
also do you have any idea for to change shock absorber / air spring for a single side? many of people say shock absorber / air spring has to be changed both side at the same time.. is it really true? do you have any info for that?.. thanks..

Out Of Control!!
Many people say so, but don't find many good sources saying so.
MB replaces one side at a time. Arnott says one side is ok, and also has a kit for just the airspring without the shock.
