Right shock rattles terribly...the compressor seems to have a mind of its own...whats the best option? I don't think anyone here has used the conversion kit or the rancho shocks for that matter. It's entirely up to you. MA822 plus junkyard compressor probably end up costing about the same as the conversion kit. Also not sure how the ride height is adjusted with conversion kit. I think from there it relies on it's spring. Handling wise who knows. If your compressor is running it's good. It's probably just running a lot because your hose is bad. So, I;d pull the ELC fuse so you don't kill it. |

The sensor actuating arm position is checked when the ignition is turned on. If the sensor indicates that no height adjustment is needed, an internal timer circuit is activated. After about 35-55 seconds, the compressor is turned on for 3-5 seconds. This ensures that the shocks are filled with the proper residual pressure. If weight is added to or removed from the vehicle during the time delay, the air replenishment cycle is overridden, and the vehicle rises or lowers after the normal delay.
If you don't hear it it's not working. Check the ELC fuse. If fuse is good probe wiring at the connector of the compressor. If all good there... likely toast.

thank you so much for your input, great advice. I turn the key to on and I hear the compressor kick on for roughly 3 seconds...I attached the 3 mil to the torn left side and am going to attach a tee coupler. I think the compressor is working and sensors are ok..the fuse seems fine. The right shock is rattling so my main question is should I go with the Monroe MA822? any extra suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well with the compressor your choices are the Monroe MA822 or sticking with OEM Delcos. I'm using MA822 no complaints.

thanks, I think I too will go with the MA822's...hope the tee coupler holds the line together and the compressor stays solid.

i bought a pair of AC Delco shocks from RockAuto, after installation the compressor has a mind of its own keeps pumping at every strut up. My Aurora looks like its High on drugs  , from the wheel-well to the top of the tire there is a 7inch gap. What are my options? |

When u start the car the compressor will start every time for few seconds if the car is to low or high u need to check the level sensor .
