Colomack 6 Posted July 17 Well since this truck was parked 25 years ago the cab hasn't come up and now won't go up, I was able to get it up using our loader with no damages after I had a leaking coolant hose after its first few jobs. But I need to re do the lift cylinders and latch cylinders because they all leak. I am planning on putting on an electronic pump because I found some for lift Gates on freight trucks rated @ 3200psi for cheaper than a used hand pump. I disasembled the pump and the bore of the pump is chooched. My question is, does anyone know what kit or where I can get a kit to reseal the lift and latch cylinders? Loving this truck and it's a blast to drive. Have it  hooked to the same trailer it has been hooked to since 1984. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coenut 157 Posted July 18 Not sure if they are different, but I had a east coast f model. Any hydraulic shop should be able to rebuild the cylinders. However the small aluminum cab latch cylinders I was told are tough. Some have small cracks that show up when they are rebuilt and have pressure. For the shop by me to mill a new body and fill the guts would be around 345 each. Found a brand new pair on eBay for 40 bucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timmyb 700 Posted July 18 Do you have a picture of the latch? I’m wondering if another model coe would fit or be made to fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll take the lift cylinders off in a few weeks when I'm back home and take em apart and see if the shop can get me a kit, I'm out of town for a week. As far as the latch ones go, the driver's side is dry and good but the pass. side has a decent leak from what appears to be the top so hopefully it's just a seal. If not I'll begin the search for a different set that will work. 18 hours ago, Timmyb said: Do you have a picture of the latch? I’m wondering if another model coe would fit or be made to fit. It looks like a pretty similar latch to others I have seen, I don't have a picture but it looks the same as this k100 picture I found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
