Need some advice

[grizcty]

Hello folks,

Need some advice again.

I have a driver side outrigger in the down position.
That will not budge.

I can lift it up horizontally & slide back out.
But, it will not push all the way back in.

I am 250 lbs & even with a friend of the same size helping.
We can not get it to slide all the way in?

Have used 1/2 of a can of PB Blaster .

Any help, would be appreciated.

Thanks

make sure that BOTH, repeat BOTH sides are screwed all the way up BEFORE you push them in to there happy little house. they live in the same channel, so if one is too long, they will not fit. as they say, don't ask me how i know this.

They are not complicated. With all that muscle, raise the little tab at the top of the out rigger and pull it all the way out and put it on the bench. Look down the other end and see what it is hitting. It probably weighs 200 lbs. so make sure you have something to catch it when it comes all the way out.

is that truck running dual stacks? (looking at second pic)

running dual stacks

That a 900 Series wrecker and that is the air intake extension tube for the air cleaner and also used to keep the intake above fording level. Wayne

I was just about to say 900.. you can see the rounded fuel tank

I agree, pull that assembly, maybe both, and see what is going on.

 

[grizcty]

Papercu is correct as usual, it is a 900 series.

Just got in from bouncing the road again.

Will give your ideas a try.

I was thinking earlier.
And remembered, the grand brats were here, when the out riggers were down.
"I WONDER", if maybe rocks were "somehow" put in the tubes.....

Got her fixed.
We pulled it all the way out.
Lube her up and put it back in/out a couple of times.

Thanks for all the advice.
