Re: 2002 Train Slide Issue Reply #25 – January 11, 2014, 08:15:51 pm Brad, Before shipping that cylinder off the Iowa have you considered finding a local; hydraulic shop and seeing if they can rebuild it for you ? There is a shop in North GA, used to be in Conyers, that would tackle anything. He firmly believes that if a human put it together then another human should be able to fix it.Gary B Quote Selected
Re: 2002 Train Slide Issue Reply #26 – January 11, 2014, 08:17:32 pm Brad I like your thinking and diligence on this. A few years ago when we had a 93 225 with the 610 kick down jacks I was in touch with HWH trying to figure out why they would not work etc. They guided me thru this system and I fixed it, all with phone calls and some diagrams. The tech also sent a follow up letter and info a week later, this after EVERY call to them. Geoff's 240 and now this one we bought now both have the 610 system and Geoffs had problems when we got home, but turned out to be bad solenoid etc which was fairly easy to find problem. I would like one day to visit HWH ( have driven past it with Geoff on trip from NJ with his coach) and see inside. Great company I think.Keep info and Piccys coming.John H Quote Selected

Not sure if they would know what tension should be present on the spring, etc., but they probably could handle it. My issue is likely just seals in the cylinder that blowby as they endeavored to push the assembly past those bolts that were in the way. Might not have even damaged anything else. But like I said elsewhere, HWH has earned my business with their helpful attitude and with a $276 max charge, I'll be happy at all the hours of labor costs they saved me.John: Thanks. I'd really have rather just gotten someone else to do it, but finally decided that it would have to either be me doing it ...or me taking a trip to Iowa for this one. That slide roominess is just too nice to just forego. HWH is busy, but I always got a response to my dumb questions within 36 hours. Quote Selected
