I am having a persistent problem with my air suspension now that its getting colder and need some help/direction. I have had it for a few months but when it is warm all worked as it should but noticed after long times of sitting (18+ hours) of sitting with engine off the front suspension lowers all the way down. but once started it raises as it should and drives fine.

Now that the temps are close to the 40F's the suspension lowers sooner after sitting and once the engine is started the pump comes on and seems to be laboring but the front doesn't rise and shuts off after a few minutes. After that initial start up if I turn the engine off and on the pump doesn't always come on but after about 20 minutes of driving the pump comes on and raises the truck. I have put soapy water on only one fitting that I could find and that is the T fitting in front of the engine and it had a slow leak but I was told that doesn't effect the air bags holding air because they have their own valves.

Any suggestions?

There is American Air Suspension which is run by a former Ford mech/parts guy who is really knowledgeable, Arnott, Strutmasters and Suncore are the ones I know of. I am still hopelessly trying to keep mines going because I really like how it compensates when I am towing a trailer.
