This Video Goes Over Common Problems That Can Be Easily Found And Fixed With Hydraulic Systems Battery Load Tester amzn.to/3urMABT Test Light amzn.to/3AsKJk5 Volt Meter amzn.to/3OKQAFQ
I'll see exactly what you're talking about on facebook pages too. Glad you found the time to make this video! Great info I'll probably watch it 30 times until I have it down lol
I will in the future I have a car I'm putting them on but they are pretty easy to install just get the fittings and tee them inline to the cylinder after the dump you can also put them directly on the cylinder itself
Great video! If you get some time, could you do a video about the level ride system on the Fleetwoods? Where to find all the essential components and common repairs and how to make them
Normally I remove them to install hydraulics but if there is a case where I do repairs on the system I will definitely make a video I can say 93 is different then 94-96
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 I actually didn't know that. I've got a 94 commercial chassis and I think the switch in the rear end is bad. It stopped turning on the compressor to lift the rear end. No light coming up on the dash or anything like it's trying
You can use a volt meter to check the switch I'm not positive but I think all it does is connect the circuit (basicly connecting two wires together) you can ohm the switch and see if it has continuity also check and make sure you are getting power to your relay up front I belive there is also a fuse that goes to that relay under the hood
Question. I got a four switch panel. One front. One rear and the third and fourth are singles for rear left and right. I got one pump to the front works fine. Two pumps to rear. One for each side. Weeks ago I would hit my second switch for both rear and they both go up nice and leveled out. Now when I hit the same switch they seem to go up at different levels. Like one starts before the other and they’re no longer level. I have to use the third and fourth switch to level out the rear. Please help. I was thinking my battery levels since I haven’t charged them? My first lifted car. Thanks🫡
I would start by making sure the batterys are fully charged you could have a switch going bad if you can try using the two rear individual switches at the same time if it still lifts unevenly you may want to load test your batterys you could have a bad one sending less voltage to one of the pumps if all batterys test good you can swap the rear hoses between the two pumps and see if the problem switches to the other side if it does you can do the same thing with the power wires coming from the solenoids to the motors to narrow down weather it's in your pump or your batterys or solenoids
When I hit my switch I hear a grinding noise oil is good and battery’s as well will it be a bad motor or gear? The car goes up and down but not like it should
Could have a pump head gear going bad you can pull the tank and inspect for metal shavings there will be a little bit but if there is a lot or chunks your gear is going out
Keeps falling after you hit the switch? Could be a dump sticking if you have two dumps on that same pump swap the dump solenoids and see if the problem changes with the swap if it stays in the same one you are having a problem with then its mechanical not electrical
Nice video! Would you know what can be the cause of car not dumping car will lift from rear but won’t dump. We did release some fluid we thought maybe “pressure locked” but still same thing.
Make sure you have 24 volts to the dump also check your ground with the car all the way down hit the dump switch and have another person have their hand on the dump and feel if its clicking. Does the pump have one dump or two?
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 The pump has two dumps and these dumps are Italian style oil system dumps we can see a red light lit up on both dumps when hitting the switch down I would think they are grounded if light comes on 🤷♀️ but we are gonna have to check
@@patriciam0415 you can try swapping the dump solenoid with the front ones and use the front switch and see if it will dump the rear if that makes sense if it still dosnt work there may be a problem with the dump itself
Check it with the car all the way down if the pump is completely empty they normally hold 2 and 3/4 quarts. Checking fluid I just pull the tank plug and use a zip tie like a dip stick
I got at 2pump four battery set up . On my S10 . My problem is I was testing my sylonidrs out and on the front pump the sylonidrs were good. Now on the back pump I was going to text the sylonidrs with the test light . I had disconcerted the cable that goes to the hydrolic motor . Well I had not even concted the ground and I put the test light to sylonide . Not even hitting the switch and the bulb on the text light blew out. . So I'm wondering how do I fix that problem
Learning to hop. Got a 3 pump with cce pumps 7 battery’s, one is dead and not connected. Caught air a few times but seems like the switch is a big laggy, kinda hard to catch any air. Also, I heard my pump do a noise where it was a long zzzztt. Then the normal zzzt sound and I wasn’t hold my switch up either. Happen one time, any idea what it could be ? Also, would 4 more battery’s and new seals in my pump and cylinders help with it taking off of the floor? Thanks
How do you bleed these exact pumps for the 2 pump setup where fronts going down but not going up it was locked up i let some fluid out the fittings to get it to go down but now it wont go back up
Check your fluid level if you are good close your slowdown valve and hit the switch to lift the front if it goes up your dumps may be stuck if it dosnt it could be a bad pump head seal or a broken key in very rare cases could be a bad motor but it's pretty rare but not out of the question when in doubt you can swap motors from the rear pump to the front and see if you still have the problem
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 it was just working a few seconds ago till i locked it up so if the fluid is low it could be the problem why it wont go up cause my rear is fine
One pump is for the front and the other is for the rear two separate systems when it comes to oil if the front pump is low it may not work while if the rear is full it will work just fine
You can use a volt meter and check for resistance using the ohm setting you may also have a switch or a solenoid sticking just enough to draw power but not enough to actually run the pump I have had that happen before and almost burnt the car down
Extending the a arms will get you a little bit or using a high lock up ball joint but be aware making the ball joint longer outs more stress on that ball joint
My dump trailer started recently gotten weaker I got it checked has new battery and everything electrical was good However I noticed the to bolts that mounts to the rack were lose could that have made my dump trailer weaker? I also bleed the air out on a full charge it seems a bit stronger but definitely less power then when I first got it
Not specifically but it is a easy repair just take the motor off and pull the old peices of the key out. If you can blow the opening out with air to make sure no small peices are left behind and install the new key and bolt the motor back up
Hi, i have problem with my tow truck system, it can lift light weight, but when i add load it just cant lift, i tried to change fluid, swap the directional valves, nothing works, now im planning to disassemble the pump, i would like to have your opinion and email please
I'm not the best with tow trucks I have worked on a few but am no expert but it sounds like the pump may have a seal going bad in it basically bypassing when getting to a cireten pressure it may also have a pressure release valve alot of times they will be on the valve manifold and will be adjusted with a allen wrench
Sparks is pretty normal but if it smokes it probably is getting oil in it. Pull the motor off and see if there is oil in it if so you will need to replace the seal that goes inbetween the pump head and the block
Important question, when I hit the switch and make the front end of my Impala go up, it's making a winding noise, it will even do it when the car is at its highest point, what could that be bro? It stays up and doesn't drop
@thecadillacdanshow8658 I'll definitely try that! I greatly appreciate you replying back! I'll keep you updated, also where do I check the oil level at? I watched some of your videos and I couldn't find one showing where to check the oil level. I'm also in Tennessee I'm in knoxville
Good possibility the motor is shot you can remove it from the pump and pull the end cap off and inspect the brushes if they are worn down the motor is done or if there is oil in the motor it will need to be cleaned out with brake clean and the seal between the block and pump head will need to be replaced
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 thank bud appreciate it I'll take a look this weekend I saw your video very helpful to start just one more question do I have to drain the fluid to remove the motor ?
@alexcomander3115 no you there is a seal inbetween the motor and pump head that keeps the oil in the tank. But if you take the motor off and there is oil inside if your motor that seal is failing and will need to be replaced
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 thanks for the help I wish I coul sent you a Pic of my set up 😔 will be more easy to follow instructions my pumps are one set so I got the tank in the middle and one motor on each side
Did you put a little oil on the rubber if the new seal? If not it may have burnt that seal up with a dry start pull the motor and see if there is any oil in it
Cool video. We have launched the 6500k led headlight bulb, would you like to try it? We wanna send it for you to try. I have contacted you by email, hope to hear from you, thanks.
Check your switch wire going to your switch box it should be on the positive of your second battery (24 volts) if you have power to your switches see if you are getting power to your solenoids
Good stuff man! Thanks for the info
I'll see exactly what you're talking about on facebook pages too. Glad you found the time to make this video! Great info I'll probably watch it 30 times until I have it down lol
Great content..keep up the great work 👍🏼
Keep doing the videos, very informative. ..as i look over at my solenoids mounted on my hold down. lol
great info brother
Thank you!
Love your channel man...helps me alot with my caddy... I was wondering if you could do a accumulator install video..?
I will in the future I have a car I'm putting them on but they are pretty easy to install just get the fittings and tee them inline to the cylinder after the dump you can also put them directly on the cylinder itself
First build I can use any check valve and any dump on any pumps like Mitch match parts in brands
Yeah for the most part you just want to keep the fitting sizes the same if your building a lay and play set up I would go with 3/8 fittings
Great video! If you get some time, could you do a video about the level ride system on the Fleetwoods? Where to find all the essential components and common repairs and how to make them

Could be also you can check the relay by the compressor if it's a 94-96 it should be in the drivers side fender well behind the bumper
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 I did swap that for a new one and still nothing.

What’s up bro I got a issue with my Italian dump when I tap it down it falls all the way down is that a bad switch

Looks more like an air-over-hydraulic cylinder to me, not a pump
gm yea i checked everything put in a new dump and it still just falls when i tap it down would that be a bad switch
Keeps falling after you hit the switch? Could be a dump sticking if you have two dumps on that same pump swap the dump solenoids and see if the problem changes with the swap if it stays in the same one you are having a problem with then its mechanical not electrical

@@thecadillacdanshow8658 it sounds like it does click. And yes the dump for the front is same style as rear

How much oil goes in the pump or how can I tell if I need to add oil or if I have to much in the pump and what kind do you recommend
Check it with the car all the way down if the pump is completely empty they normally hold 2 and 3/4 quarts. Checking fluid I just pull the tank plug and use a zip tie like a dip stick

Could be a switch sticking maybe replace the switch I would work on your rythm before adding more batterys

Can u do a video on how to replace the hoses
Which hose do you have in mind? Going from the pump to the front?
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 the back one on the right it’s leaking but afraid to take off the hose first time doing any advice
How do you know if your ground is bad? My quick disconnect has a high voltage and creating sparks
You can use a volt meter and check for resistance using the ohm setting you may also have a switch or a solenoid sticking just enough to draw power but not enough to actually run the pump I have had that happen before and almost burnt the car down
How do you do a high lock up in the front of a lowrider
Extending the a arms will get you a little bit or using a high lock up ball joint but be aware making the ball joint longer outs more stress on that ball joint
Are the pumps supposed stored in the cold or warm?
The colder the oil the slower the pumps will work
My dump trailer started recently gotten weaker I got it checked has new battery and everything electrical was good
However I noticed the to bolts that mounts to the rack were lose could that have made my dump trailer weaker? I also bleed the air out on a full charge it seems a bit stronger but definitely less power then when I first got it
If the pump does not have a ground wire it probably grounds through the mounting bolts so that could cause a issue
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 thanks for the quick response. I think that was the issue I removed the pump and it was really dirty under the pump
You can also add a ground wire that goes from the battery to the mounting bolt of the pump if it's easy to access that will ensure a good ground
Do you have a video on how to fix a broken key
Not specifically but it is a easy repair just take the motor off and pull the old peices of the key out. If you can blow the opening out with air to make sure no small peices are left behind and install the new key and bolt the motor back up

What’s if your motor sparks and smokes when you hit the switch? Ty
Sparks is pretty normal but if it smokes it probably is getting oil in it. Pull the motor off and see if there is oil in it if so you will need to replace the seal that goes inbetween the pump head and the block
What if I changed seal and it’s still smoking motor good got it checked
Pressure seal keeps blowing on the pump head any ideas what can be causing this it’s a Marzocchi 11
Do you have 4 mounting bolts in the pump head. Is it being over locked?
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 definitely four bolts no over locking it won’t even get to that point soon as it builds alittle pressure to come up it blows
Who are you getting your seals from maybe try a diffrent brand are there any defects in where the oring sits
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 I get them from Primo Seals and nope no defects I guess I’ll try to get some original Marzocchi seals
How much for a complete pump one dump on it
Contact Lizarde hydraulics he can get you hooked up!
My rear pump wont go up… u can hear the motor spin… any suggestions
Could be a broken key, low on oil, bad pump head, or a stuck dump you can close the slowdown and see if it will lift if it does the dump is stuck
Thanks for the reply
Ill try it out tomorrow .. thats the only thing i didnt check the slowdown
Important question, when I hit the switch and make the front end of my Impala go up, it's making a winding noise, it will even do it when the car is at its highest point, what could that be bro? It stays up and doesn't drop
Start by checking your fluid level with the car all the way down. If the level is low it can make a weird noise
@thecadillacdanshow8658 do you think the motor can possibly be going bad? It's a whinnying noise
Could be swap that motor to the rear pump and then hit your rear switch and see if the problem follows the motor
@thecadillacdanshow8658 I'll definitely try that! I greatly appreciate you replying back! I'll keep you updated, also where do I check the oil level at? I watched some of your videos and I couldn't find one showing where to check the oil level. I'm also in Tennessee I'm in knoxville
I got a front motor spinning but won't lift no fluid moving through the system but the motor is spinning when I hit the switch. what could this be?
Close your slow down and see if the car lifts
@@thecadillacdanshow8658 a closed the slowdown valve, replace the key, charge the batteries. Still no action. Motor is spinning
Could be the pump head seals or the pump head pressure seal between the pump head and the block
I'm going to check it out today! Thanks Dan
You can spin the pump then look in the tank and see if you see bubbles its probably the pressure seal for the pump head
My back pump is sparkling any help that would guide me ain't no lowrider shops around here
Good possibility the motor is shot you can remove it from the pump and pull the end cap off and inspect the brushes if they are worn down the motor is done or if there is oil in the motor it will need to be cleaned out with brake clean and the seal between the block and pump head will need to be replaced
This may help you if you havnt seen it yet
