Usually my autoride compressor will run for a few seconds every time I get in my truck, however the last week or so it hasent kicked on. Does this mean the compressor has gone out, or does it just not need to run? The rear of the truck isn't sagging, and I/m not getting a service message in the message center on the dash.
Sounds like compressor stopped pretty common problem

You could have a problem with the wiring to the blower motor. My mom has a 2006 Tahoe that would only blow out any air when it wanted to. Turns out, some how a wire going to the motor popped out and was grounding itself on another wire. If I were you I would take it in to have it looked at before spending the money on buying a new blower motor.
SOURCE: Reduced power code comes up and my truck stalls.
I had the same problem, and the solution was cleaning the throttle body, it does need to be completely removed to be cleaned thoroughly. I just used some brake cleaner on a rag to clean off all the carbon deposits. A friend of mine who is a dealer tech had only seen this trouble code once, and this was the solution. So far, my light has not come back on and the truck is running alot better at idle.

You need 3 things.
Compression
Good hot blue spark to all plugs.
Good gasoline and proper fuel pressure. 63-64 lbs.
If you have all 3 then move on to injector pulse to all injectors.
I think each injector is on a separate driver on that one.
Check for pulse to all of them.
You may be weak on fuel pressure . Even a couple of lbs low on a cold start will cause a no start. Double check cold start cranking fuel pressure. If under 63-62 lbs you have problems.one test is to give it a squirt of carb cleaner not starting fluid. If you get a intake or engine full of starting fluid it can blow things. Carb cleaner will start it if it is a fuel problem and lot safer. Also in the good old days when i was a kid, i used to get a couple of cans of
starting fluid and get in the back and have a good starting fluid
spraying contest. Good for a big blast if someone lights a match. If it starts then you have a fuel pressure problem. Run the full fuel pressure test and post back pressures.
Here is the guide lines on testing.
Hard to start cold.
Check cold start fuel pressure.
Check engine running fuel pressure.
Check engine running on the road fuel pressure.
Then shut it off and watch for fast leak down.
Pinch off at rubber part or block off return line and check full pressure.
V8 gm engines should have 60-66 fuel pressure.
Cold start should be 64-65 lbs of pressure.
If you do not have full fuel pressure on a cold start the injectors will not squirt fuel. Do not leave home without it.
Engine running should be 60-66 lbs pressure depending on engine load.
Full pressure with return pinched off should be 75-85 or more.
And if it has a fast leak down after shut off you have a leak.
The 75-85 is only a check on the capable full pressure of fuel pump.
If you can not find the rubber return line check full pressure by
plugging return line or just or the true full pressure can be taken
direct at the end fuel filter.
What are the pressure readings that you have done.
What are your cold start pressure readings?

they air shocks aint that expensive but you can also replace them with reg heavy duty shocks and unplug compresser
