quiet levelup, now totally.

Lots of pops, shudders, etc and with catepillar u9891 added...quiet. But then there was the "sometimes" quieter pop or shudder. After sitting here in abq, I got to looking at the system and noticed that the two quick disconnects on the manifold (used by factory) had fluid on them. Both were leaking slightly at the threads into the next fitting. Using two wrenches I was able to use the pressure of two fingers and a thumb to tighten them more. Not a drop or film of fluid now...and guess what? No more noise period. Life is nice when stuff works right. John

I keep waiting for my popping to magically go away. 2 years later and i'm just better at ignoring it.

It is strange how this works. Ours quit after about six months and we never added anything.

After a couple months @ 9500' the weather change from 80 to 30's at night, the actually feeling the trailer drop, when we got back home added the CAT fluid. Took a few extensions of the slides and jacks, now not a sound after a year....

Hoping it works when we get it out of storage, the auto level went nuts last trip. Re-set the level, we'll see.
