Sorry to hear that, mine is at the dealer too. I have a chevy uplander minivan. Me don't like it at all :no: , makes me feel very old :yes: The other day they replaced my Radiator cap and when I picked it up the A/C would not come thru the vents in the dash. I also had them check and see why it seems to be a little sluggish. Or it could just be me :undecided
I tried adjusting mine, now it leans to the drivers side. The rear measurements are now 34" on the drivers side and 35" on the passenger side. Can't seem to get it to lower (it's been sitting in the garage for a couple of days now), doesn't seem to want to deflate the bags - even after readjusting the passenger side lower. Is there a way to manually deflate the bags without polking a hole in them with an awl?

Just a thought, put a whole lotta stuff in the back so that the air compressor starts pumping up the truck to level it. Then keep adding weight, the sit in it in the back. Then take everything out of it and it will deflate itself to get to normal height. See where it ends up after that.:cool:

Hmm...well I do have to buy about a half dozen bags of salt pellets for the water softner.

What kind of rental did you get? My local dealer gives out cavilers, impalas for cars, trailblazers (ls v6) for suvs:D, and for trucks colorados.
I love my dealership!
Mine goes back to the dealer this morning to replace the right side airbag/system (parts had been ordered by dealer). Don't know what they did, but the bags have not deflated since I brought it in to check the system last week (when they told me there was a leak in the right side of the air system). Is it possible that there is some type of pressure release valve somewhere on this system (that they shut off). Grocery run last week (loaded up the rear), resulted in the rear suspension being raised an additional 1"-2" (where it remains today).

Just picked up the '07 TBSS last night and have the same problem. Looking at it in the garage I noticed the driver side rear about an inch higher and you can see it from the front as well.
Need to go back to the dealer anyway, will see if they can do anything.

:confused: I guess if you have a tune in your truck, it'll just have to lean...
Got mine back from the dealer yesterday, now it leans back to the passenger side by 1" (34" on driver side rear, 33" on passenger side rear). :crazy:

Mine girl came home last night, she drives like the put a tune on her. I know they reflashed the ECM with an upgrade but this is amazing. It's like night and day. I can chirp the tires from first to second now with 22's on her :eek:

did you already have a tune on it? or they "tuned" it for you?

Left the SS with the dealer today and am quite sure they flashed it but it still leans.

If the driver's side rear is higher, should I adjust the driver or passenger side sensor? I'll mark the original position and give it a try.

No I didn't have a tune, but leaving the dealer I remember reading if they re-flashed your ecm, to drive it hard so the computer would learn my style. I have been amazed since I left. The gear shift quicker, better acceleration and performance.

Maybe it is as simple as the dealer disconnecting your battery cable. I was always under the impression that doing so would reset the computer and it would then "learn" your driving habits.
Maybe everyone should do that for a better ride?
Just a thought.

Well, if you send your ECM/TCM back to your tuner, they should have that update by now and take care of it.

Well man, thats great! Keep driving her really hard for the first 50-100mi (1/3-1/2 tank) to keep the shift timings dialed in. Well, if you can chirp the tires, maybe GM has finally decided that a little less TM doesnt actually hurt anything!!:D
