Hey, newer owner here and had a couple of questions that I was hoping for some help on.

1. The truck appears to be leaning to the right a bit. From what I've read the compressor does not appear to be running excessively and the airbags do not seem to change in height for several days (i.e. do not think its a leak?) Unscientific measurements from top of fenderwell to somewhat level concrete drive listed below:

Left Rear = 33 1/2"
Left Front = 33 1/4"
Right Front = 31 7/8"
Right Rear = 32 7/8"

Weird, the lean seams more apparent from the rear but maybe thats just because its taller. Again, just stays like that. Can sensors get out of whack somehow?

2. Lately the truck, after sitting for a few days, first right up and then drops really low in rpm's to the point that it just stalls. It cranks fine and starts fine but then just dies if its been sitting. If I crank it right after if still fires right up and settles into a normal idle just fine. Not to color anyones diagnosis but its almost like its getting a ton of fuel at first start and then gets starved. Really just don't where to start with this one.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Learned quite a bit already. In the next few weeks I'll be replacing lower control arms. Really looking forward to that as the clunking kind of spoils a fantastic riding vehicle.

1. Buy an IIDTool from GAP Diagnostics.
2. Use that IIDTool to recalibrate your EAS.
3. Check out your thermostat. That could be causing your stalling issue. Make sure your MAF and throttle body are good/clean too.

 

Good to know that it could be a "simple" recalibration type deal.

Maybe a good cleaning would help. Interesting on the thermostat. Not sure I understand why that would stall the engine at startup and then immediately start right up. Not sure why that would stall the engine at all.

Thanks a bunch for the response.

 

I took your description of "after it's been sitting" to mean after the engine warms up.

A calibration wouldn't hurt but if you're not getting cross-articulation faults your calibration might be okay. Maybe it's just good enough to not throw a fault but not optimal...idk. It's a starting place.

 

To add to houms info mine was doing the same thing "the leaning" for a year. Didnt think much of it and ran it like that then just the other day my calibration went "**** up" (HOUM_WA) and dropped down to bump stops. I thaough it was a height sensor and ordered 4 to replace all of them but the guys on here told me to re calibrate it with my gap tool. Did that and all better! Cancelled the height sensors.
So i do not know if that eventually lead to the cross articulation fault or what but just a heads up.
The gap tool will the best investment you buy for your lr3
