  Q: How to replace the Air Suspension Compressor on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A:

  Start the Air Suspension Compressor replacement process by taking out the elc/trailer electrical Fuse then carefully elevating and supporting the vehicle. Following A/C Hose removal, you must use a clamp tool on the Air Suspension Compressor filter between the underbody rail to detach it before proceeding. You must disconnect the compressor bracket bolts along with nuts before your compressor can hang from its bracket hook. The maintenance completes by disconnecting the air line from the air dryer while disconnecting the electrical connector from the Air Suspension Compressor. To separate the bracket hook from the vehicle's frame rotate the Air Suspension Compressor and bracket 90 degrees. Remove the Air Suspension Compressor assembly and bracket after detachment. Start by taking out the Air Suspension Compressor dryer followed by the Air Suspension Compressor relay from the bracket and the bolts that secure the compressor to its bracket. To disconnect the Air Suspension Compressor filter hose attach two points to the compressor body. To install the Air Suspension Compressor filter hose reconnect it at the same two locations to the compressor unit while setting the compressor onto the bracket frame. Fasten the bracket to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) before tightening the Air Suspension Compressor bolts/screws to 4 nm (35 inch lbs.) and the Air Suspension Compressor shield bolts to 3 nm (27 inch lbs.). Reinstall the Air Suspension Compressor relay along with the Air Suspension Compressor dryer while installing the bracket onto the underbody rail. Rotate the bracket by 90 degrees to enable the compressor suspension from the hook support. Use an air line to install the Air Suspension Compressor electrical connector while you build the air dryer connection then tighten the bracket nuts at 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Installation follows with bracket bolt screw tightening to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) before you attach the Air Suspension Compressor filter to the underbody rail. Then reinstall any disconnected a/c hoses while lowering the vehicle before reinserting the elc/trailer Fuse.

  Q: How to Change the Air Suspension Compressor on a Chevrolet Uplander?

  A:

  Begin Air Suspension Compressor replacement by taking out the electronic level control elc/trailer Fuse followed by vehicle elevation and support. Access becomes possible by removing the A/C Hoses when present. The Air Suspension Compressor filter can be detached from the underbody rail through soft clip pressure on its side section after removing the compressor bracket bolts and nuts so the compressor will dangle from its bracket hook. Unplug the Air Suspension Compressor electrical connection and eliminate the air line from the air dryer. The Air Suspension Compressor and bracket require a 90-degree rotation to remove the vehicle-hooked compressor bracket. After disengagement you can take both components out. Extract the Air Suspension Compressor dryer and Air Suspension Compressor relay from its bracket while also removing Air Suspension Compressor bolts to proceed with Air Suspension Compressor bracket removal. Reinstallation occurs through bracket attachment of the Air Suspension Compressor filter hose to the Air Suspension Compressor at two points followed by Air Suspension Compressor installation on the bracket before bracket tightening to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Tighten the Air Suspension Compressor bolt/screws to 4 nm before adding the Air Suspension Compressor shield and installing bolts to 3 nm. Begin by placing the Air Suspension Compressor bracket under the underbody rail with a 90-degree rotation to support the compressor from its bracket hook. After reattaching the Air Suspension Compressor relay to the bracket you can install the Air Suspension Compressor dryer. Connect the electrical Air Suspension Compressor wires and install air tubing to the air drying unit before tightening the Air Suspension Compressor bracket fasteners to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). The Air Suspension Compressor bracket bolt requires a torque setting of 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) and the filter should be mounted next to the underbody rail. Reinstall all a/c hoses after completion of the procedure then lower the vehicle before reinstalling the elc/trailer Fuse.
