So Ron, what is the moral to this happy ending?
Don't leave a vehicle on the lift for extended length of time?
Cycle the lift on a regular basis?
I'm in the process of installing a two post Champion Lift and any advice is greatly appreciated.

Don, you hit the button on the head. Cycle the lift occasionally. One of the lift's jobs is to provide additional car space, the 70 340 Duster lives under whatever is on the lift most of the time. What I should have done (I think) is every time I drove the Duster I should have exercised the lift. I try to drive it at least every couple months. A trip to Sheridan is about 40 miles round trip, plenty to get fluids and all up to temp, boiling off moisture. With the Duster out of the way, running the lift up and down a couple times would have been so easy and perhaps prevented the seals from drying out and eventually failing?
You're going to love your new lift. The only bad about getting a lift is all the bruises from kicking yourself cause you waited so long!
