My last and final issue on this truck; It relates to the boom´s hydraulic system. Once the pump has been activated with all E-stops cleared, the second stage boom lever automatically forces to ´fold´ (down). It does this many times and suddenly stops doing it after a few days. Then the problem will reappear after a week or two. I have to literally tie the lever with something to stop it from going down with an assistant working with me to control that particular stage if needed. I noticed that the problem also affects the first stage boom occasionally. Yesterday the first stage suddenly unfolded (raised) on its own then stopped. I have ruled out electrical issues by disconnecting the solenoids for the second stage when it acts up so, I am almost convinced that it is hydraulic failure somewhere. Any ideas guys? |

to me it sounds like a joystick issue , does it do it on hardwire and wireless ? I would think this would be your first step in checking for the root of the problem , in most my experiences this is the issue |

Had this happen to our 04 34x as it turned out we had bad coils on the spool valve body. super easy to replace runs like a champ, if not then i would look at the spool valve assy for possible internal leaks |
