The air ride system on this vehicle acts as a helper for the rear suspension. This means that if you are hauling a lot of weight in the rear of the vehicle then the air ride will maintain the proper vehicle ride height. With the system inoperative the rear suspension would sag when loaded with weight. Under normal operating conditions the vehicle will operate normally. Faulty air pumps are very common on these vehicles.
