I didn't really see a sub forum to deal with this but please move if needed.
As far as I know these are the original rams put on when the dump bed was built in 49.
It lifts the bed but the passenger side ram is weak, lower than drivers side with a load in the bed. When I lift it up all the way the passenger side ram squirts oil out the top of the cylinder. I pulled the ram out and took pictures.
ram side ram top top If the pictures don't show up I will try them again.
It is a simple ram with only one hose going in the bottom. The reason I am posting here is I am hoping someone has some experience with these old rams and can give me some info before I head out to the repair shop and pay too much to get it fixed. It looks like the top comes off with just a retainer ring holding it in. I have not tore into it yet.
Anyone have any ideas to fix it??
edit reason: trying to fix pictures
