Doesn't look broke to me

 

 

1. the driver doesn't have a look of panic

2. the thing on the ground doesn't look like a hydraulic hose to me

3. a broken hose won't make them stick in the up position, they will drain all of the fluid and make the rod collapse.

 

Looks like a great 3 wheel to me, love for mine to pull one that high one day

It is broken. It happened during a cruise night in MI. The owner had to pull it into a parking lot and attempt a repair.

still won't happen My dad has been working with hydraulics for 22 years and I've been working with them for 7 and a broken or busted hose will not let the ram keep the hydraulic fluid in it and stay extended.

 

Ram's get stuck in the extended position when something happens at the pump and it will not let fluid back to the pump.

 

The guy that wrote that message isn't to bright example:

 

"Silverado 1500 w/ hydros. If you close enough in the picture, it broke a line to one of the rear air bags "

 

Also look closely at the driver side rear axle you can see the hydro ram attached to it.. no airbag there

 

First if he has airbags the he says he broke a line to the rear air bags and the front wouldn't come down, I'm sorry but that doesn't work that way... .

 

Air bags will not pull front 3 wheels that high, and even if he broke a line to the air bag why would the front not work.

 

 

Another example of ppl taking pictures and not knowing about what they are taking

Air bags are filled with AIR hydraulic rams are filled with you guess it hydraulic fluid, two different principles.

Edit: d**n larry beat me to it.

 

Hmm. First it says he has dros, then it says it has bags. They don't know what they are talking about.

 

That thing hanging down looks more like a KYB shock to me. If he couldn't get it down than he had electrical problems. If he lost pressure in that one corner than all he would have to do is lower the other to meet.

 

Either he had a problem in his control box or a guy saw him pulling a 3 wheel and decided to make up a funny story to go with it.

yea looks more like someone just trying to make a popular post among all the guys at putc that hate sport trucks

I might be wrong, but even if the ram was stuck in the extended position, how the front would stay up like that considering that all of the weight (engine, tranny,etc) is up front? :cheers::rolleyes:
