Hey guys, I have a "95 chevy 3500 dump with an electric hydraulic dump.. The dump is slower than molasses lowering the body after dumping. It is not the fastest on the way up, but it really isn"t too bad as compared to what I had been expecting for an elec. dump. When it goes down, however, it takes 5x as long to go down as up, there is no hesitation, it doesn"t get stuck in any position it is just super slow and steady.
What should I look for to trouble shoot this. It is a used truck that is new to me.
From what I have read online it could be a) incorrect hoses - should have a larger diameter hose for fluid exiting the cylinder? Is this true? b) plugged relief vent - where on the unit should this be - hose? near the reservoir? c) malfunctioning switch/actuator - not opening the valve all the way...
Hopefully you guys can get me looking in the right direction.
