    Spare Tire Cylinder

    Ok, so I'm still waiting on my ram to arrive but figured I would show this. In the meantime I wanted the spare on the truck. So I disconnected the existing faulty ram and plugged the hydraulic lines. And removed the ram so I could move the arm. I ordered a 7:1 pulley system and used that...

    stuck spare.

    This is correct. The ram seems completely disposable in it's construction with zero way of dissembling it. Even in the tech manuals when you get to the point I'm at the next line item is to replace the ram.

    stuck spare.

    Well. Pulled the ram again. Double check that I have good hydraulic flow up until the point that it enters the ram and I do. Copious and consistent.

    Current compressor situation

    Bringing a dead horse back to life here, we just recently had a rod failure on our compressor. Resulting in a massive oil leak that could have been much worse if we didn't have people behind us alert us that we were spraying oil. New compressor on order from a company out of Oregon.

    cab air springs

    Apologies for bringing this post back from the dead. Is there also meant to be a damper for the rebound of the springs? The compression and filling is good on mine, however when they rebound they seem to top out very harshly. Thoughts?
