I took the pump out and found that its not really serviceable, it seems as though the part that directs the air, valve system I guess is riveted and doesn't even have any bolts to remove. Has anyone serviced one of these?

No I took a look and the levers are both perfect and in the same position. Could it be an internal valve int eh compressor?

Just changed out the cracked air bags on my 9-7x and found that only the left side inflates, It inflates enough to turn the system off but the right air bag won't even inflate at all, wanting it to inflate so it will seat. I blew air in the line with an external compressor and the right bag...

Ok, here we go, Service 4wd light still on intermittently. Changed out Trans Case fluid, changed out Actuator Motor, disconnected battery...... Checked pertinent fuses and nothing, all are good. Whats left? Maybe front diff fluid level? When I changed out the front disconnect bearing I...

Well, after changing out the ATII fluid and making sure it was full and pulling and checking all fuses related to TCCM, it does seem to be the encoder motor. I think I am going to order another new one and not rebuilt, well see what happens I guess.

Well, after a couple of very icy highway drives my service awd light has come on once again. I think it is the Encoder motor, even though it is only 2 years old(the encoder). The light came on during my drive and I pulled over, when I stepped out I could smell some hot electrical or hot...

The Wad of grease is actually before I cleaned it up just after I dropped it and reassembled the collar into the disconnect. The grease is now Blue and fully coats everything! Thanks again for the orientation advice, I was able to get it back together and am about to change the TC fluid...

Yes it does seem to go together better this way, a lot easier to slide the drive shaft all the way into the disconnect. Now to change the bearing and shaft on the driver side as it has a bit, 1/16 th of an inch play.....

Well it looks as though the more chamfered splines go towards the intermediate shaft. I assume so it is easier to put onto the intermedia shaft in such a tight area. Also once the GM parts counter person typed in my VIN it came up in the online GM parts locator just fine, he didn't even have...

The coupler itself is a bit longer on one side, the side with the more chamfered splines, when I looked at the parts explosion from the service manuals section it seems that the Chamfered splines and longer bearing surface seems to be towards the intermediate shaft, but with the chamfer I am...

Can someone help me on which way the coupler inside my disconnect should go? When i split it open I dropped it and the coupler fell out. Once side has minor champfer and one side has a more pronounced chamfer on the splines, I want to know which side goes to the intermediate shaft and which...
