Default lr3 suspension blow off valve keeps releasing pressure

Hello,

2005 LR3 with 149000 miles.

I recently change the complete suspension compressor with the dryer and the blow off valve and everything works great, but the blow off valve releases pressure when I park the truck (it does not lower, it just releases some pressure) and it sometimes releases while I am driving.

Why is it doing this? Also it seems now that I installed the new compressor the truck seems to sway from side to side while driving? Could the truck be to high? It looks good on the Nav. 4x4 screen.

Glen

Default auto level function in play

It is normal for one to hear an air release noise for maybe two seconds or so as one is walking away from one's parked 3. This is the auto level circuit deciding to I guess level the vehicle; hence it may visibly drop a bit, but not much, and not always enough that you see anything, you just hear a psst and not all the time either.

Also I have noted that when stopped at a traffic light, on occasion the vehicle will kind of level itself. Usually this is the front dropping such that one does notice it - again normal, and some sort of auto level function.

As to any swaying, that I would say is not something I have noticed.

Your 4x4 display is the best bet to get an idea of unusual wheel movement or height information - you just keep the display on and watch for odd stuff.

For the most part, movements will be very subtle and one will not be certain it is not ones imagination.
