When I have seen lines cooked it was caused by the pump being left on while driving down the road. One had a bad air control switch that would not shut off properly.
Nice looking equipment there. I am scratching my head with you. It will be interesting to see how the trailer does with a different truck.

Have you called Western and asked them. They are a pretty stand up company, And I’m sure this has come up before for them.

Is the belt slipping on the rollers……?
Put a gun on the lines and get a temp (how hot is hot?) your Hyd man should’ve done that. Especially since your complaint was heat……
small plastic line 5 years old dry rot maybe ? -

Might check fittings where hoses connect truck to trailer. Quick connect or screw on style. Had one once go bad and burned up pump it stopped flow completely. I agree with heat generally caused by restricted flow assuming all things the same as they have always been otherwise.

Could the hydraulic oil be a problem? Get a sample of the oil tested, Is this the only unit that is having problems? Is there a filter in the system that could be almost plugged?
lester Thanks this.
