    M936 wrecker boom leaking down

    The spool valve and relief valve are easy to pull out and check if something got in them , really strange thou. Mine I pulled hydraulic filter out and changed it, the old one was bad, had a little bit of everything in it .

    M936 wrecker boom leaking down

    Sorry for screwed up picture, I tried fixing . Where it says Boom Lift Cylinders, talks about check valve that holds it from lowering. There is a check valve in the hose of each cylinder on the bottom port . I thought they just cushioned the hydraulic pressure from spikes. Any idea on the...

    M936 wrecker boom leaking down

    I was wondering if there was a valve like that there , don't think there is ??? But would think there would be. Wish I could find a better picture of the whole hydraulic system , all valves , hoses , cylinder internals. I'll have to look harder I guess. Thank you!!!!

    M936 wrecker boom leaking down

    Well I put a ball valve between the control valve body and the tee fitting the goes to the bottom hoses on the cylinders. Thought finally , well not finally, raised boom up and down about ten times to get air out. Raised it up shut the valve and does exact the same thing. Did not help at...
