hi russ,

i replaced the solenoid last friday morning. so it has been 4 days and from what i can tell, no movement yet.

i was just thinking if one of them needed done, i wanted to preplan for it. the local CAT hydraulic ram rebuild shop happens to be only about 30 minutes from me as that is where i went to pick up and drop off my engine oil sample i had done a week or so ago.

when i converted the rear office to my bedroom on mine, i replaced part of the slide floor (it is a flat floor slide in the bedroom, and i know many are not). and i left an access panel to get at the ram in the floor under the bed. i think there is only one ram in the rear slides.

i was most hopeful the check valve would fix it but i didnt even try when i saw that mine didnt have the check valve for each ram, but rather one for all of them.
