2023 R1T just picked up. Strange clicking noise coming from bed area near backseat, passenger side at low speed and even when stopped. Sounds like electrical contacts opening and closing. When I quickly get out and run to the passenger side of the bed to try and hear it I hear the air compressor running. Any ideas?

The clicking noise is the valves opening and closing. Not to worry, they all make the sound. With the right tunes, it almost sounds like castanets

And the clicking noise?
Also, air suspension. The air suspension also controls, body roll and stiffness, so even if you don’t change anything different environments will cause suspension to behave differently.
