Rebuilding the hydraulic rams in my wrecker

[@snowman374th]

So tell me, if the truck sat for 17 yrs, and not sure if there's fluid inside, would the cylinders on Boom & Wheel lift still be good?

I would say as long as the system was sealed they should be fine. If there were a chance of moisture build up it’s a guess at that point. You could always pull the lines and soak each side with pb blaster or trans fluid to be safe.

@@freebirdautomotiveandtowin7242 Ah sweet. The wheel lift is still holding it up in air.. not dragging. So that makes me feel good to hear. Thanks.
