I have 2004 bucik Rainier and the air ride suspension dose not work. When I start it up it runes for about a min then the compressor stops it raises about 2 inches off. The temp has been below freezing for about 10 days now and that's when it started.

Are there any warning lights coming on the dash?The first thing I would do is have the vehicle scanned for code's with a professional scan tool that can read all the computers in car. Not a diyer scan tool or free reqd at the auto parts store. Then let me know the exact code numbers not code descriptions. You might Even need a professional scan tool to diagnose the problem.

I would but I'm afraid to move it. Do you think the air lines might be frozen.

It could be compressed air has moisture in it and moisture can freeze. Its hard to say without scanning it for codes etc. If it started with the cold weather something could have frozen or a line could have broken. You could try looking the over to see if qny look broken. Are there any warning lights on the dash?
