    I talked with my private shop today. They have worked on Cassens rigs for many years. He said Cassens uses ATF and rarely have issues. I may switch over to it eventually. For now I have a 5 gallon pail of 32 on the way.

    Thanks for the tip. I picked up a few cans yesterday and sprayed rails it resolved the issue I was having. Now I have two dual stage cylinders that are making a loud noise right when the second stage engages. I am taking truck to yanaks in millbury Ohio today to see what they think.

    I have cylinders that are not synchronized, suddenly the platform is askew, what does the mechanic have to adjust so that the cylinders are synchronized?
    Since it is cold, my cylinders are very slow, what oil should I put to make it work faster?

    There are flow dividers usually behind the trailer tandems on newer trucks. Its screws on them to adjust them
