Jacks clicking after leveling

[Dobie dogs]

Hello all. I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this as I’m experiencing now. After leveling the rig the random jacks now start to click as if they are loosing pressure and start to settle. I strapped a rule to the front jacks and they drop about 1/2 inch. I have a 2020 3701lk. It’s always something with this rig. We are taking a short two week trip to Florida from PA. so I wondering if there’s anything I can check to fix this issue. Also the hydraulic fluid level is perfect. Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Bob

I would check all the fittings for leaks, also have to checked the fluid reservoir to make sure it’s no low.

Unless there is an actual internal leak, this sounds like a stiction issue in the hydraulic system. This is the Lippert tech sheet about replacing one or two quarts of the fluid in the tank with a stiction additive to stop the popping. I did this with our rig in 2013, right after Lippert issued the first info about this. I used the Cat fluid because we were just a short distance from a Cat dealer where we were parked, and the fluid fixed the problem. https://lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws...cd_0002091.pdf

Ok here’s the update
I found a cat dealer and got the hydraulic fluid additive. Followed the process by lippert and the clicking is gone!!
Thanks for the advice. This forum is a world of information
Thanks again

...just for those folks reading this thread for the first time...there are several fork oil alternatives that will work. In my case - the Cat dealer was 30 minutes away, but a motorcycle shop 5 minutes away had Maxima Fork Oil for $10 or so that took care of my stiction issue. Found a turkey baster at a garage sale for $1 to suck out the prescribed amount of hydraulic fluid before adding the fork oil. It was a cheap fix!
