Autoloc Air Command=JUNK! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

S10Fan · 01-10-2010, 03:47 PM

I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to get an Autoloc Air Command 4000 to work. I've called their tech nonsupport line and posted a question in a Autoloc sponsored forum (9 days ago), nothing.

I asked 2 friends to come by and check behind me (wiring) everything is wired and installed as required. I've moved sensors to different positions. Pretty much anything you can think of has been tried. The unit will not raise or lower my truck to the set pressure with the presets. The unit will not properly control tank pressure. All it's good for is raising and lowering manually, I have $3.00 toggle switches that do that quite well.

I now fully understand why the Autoloc piece was much cheaper than other manufacturers.

Now I get to start the process of returning this piece of garbage and I'll save up for a Ride Tech product.

Got so mad I didn't post my question. LOL

Anyone have experience with the Air Command?

I Googled the heck out of the product before i bought it to see what info was out there, nothing. I figured if there were massive complaints something would come up on a forum. At least the next guy can use the search function here (and a few other forums now

) then proceed with caution.

I could have ended up with a defective piece but I'll never know due to Autoloc's lack of product support.

so are they gonna take it back so you can move on to something else that actually works?

I've written the parties involved. I bought it from an authorized dealer, fortunately I paid with a credit card. The dealer says it needs to go back to Autoloc as a warranty issue. We'll see.

damn that sucks, sounds they are gonna try to replace it with it another one to me
