    After watching your video again. I really understand now what to look for with sensors and voltage. I noticed on sensor giving me problems said volts where different fron the others. Great job explaining sir!

    I just commented on one of your other videos, but i may double check to see my sensors are clocked correctly while im at it. I dont fail calibration, but i always have 1 side front that doesnt go to the correct height and causes errors.
    To find your mid way point i assume you just took a measurement to your fender aired out and max height then manually aired it to half way before jacking the car up to check where your sensor sat?

    • @SkaggsGarage
      @SkaggsGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey thanks for watching! On the fronts, I actually had the wheel off and the jack under the rotor. That way I was to able to cycle it up and down to find the center of travel.

    When the system was not calibrating did you just get a clicking noise when trying to use the remote? I just get click click click. I just posted on a different video of yours but I feel I might be on the right video. I will be making adjustments to the ar sensor asap to see if that helps me out. Thank for sharing.

    • @SkaggsGarage
      @SkaggsGarage  2 роки тому

      Thanks for watching! Before I resolved the issue with the sensor harness being mislabeled, it would just click by itself trying to level out. But it was the system doing it. The hand held would work.
      The diagnostic part of the app is very useful. It will tell you if the sensors are out of range and if the harnesses are connected to the right sensors. Keep me posted. DM me on Instagram, I'll be happy to help! I'd love to see your bus too, my brother has 2 lol...

      @@SkaggsGarage yeah it seems like I got to trick the system (older setup without app) to get the rear end up then hit calibration.. it works only some times but then right after the back end will only drop not raise.. just clicks away.. or adds a little air at a time.. I do not have Instagram but I did hear you mention the FB group so I just joined that.

    Question Corporal Skagg. When vehicle is not in use. Is it recommended to leave bags aired out? Or does it not matter?

    • @SkaggsGarage
      @SkaggsGarage  2 роки тому +1

      I haven't heard one way or the other to be honest. But by leaving it aired up, my brother discovered a slow leak in his when he walked in to find the front sitting on the ground after a couple of days. I'd say that's a reason to leave it up.

    do you lose air during a ride and compessors come on after a while or does it stay until you decide to change settings?

    • @SkaggsGarage
      @SkaggsGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      @gjoniny1534 I'm coming up on 2 and a half years and the only leak I had was a faulty check valve on the compressor hose. And once I mistakenly moved a line too close to the exhaust pipe and melted a hole in it. But to answer your question, no. Overall I haven't had a leak with the system itself. I haven't driven the car in about 3 weeks and it's still sitting at the height I parked it at.

    The software on this is pure junk brother. I hate that we have to do diagnosis and calibrations with the phone app. Wish it synced with a dongle you can plug in and out like OBD 2.
