Update on this issue:
When Fred was here yesterday one of his tasks was to find where my LR jack was leaking. After crawling around under the coach he reported no fluid leaks from the jack or fitting but did find evidence of fluid under the water bay and left frame rail. Sure enough when we opened up the water bay there was fluid on top of the tanks so now a new problem to fix.
So now it's about 1:30 pm and Fred recommended a local company that specializes in Hydraulics so gave them a call and got a most amazing response....they would have someone at my place by 2:30 and take care of the problem. I was shocked, never heard of such a response. Sure enough right on time here comes the truck. By this time I decided to replace the extend hoses on both rear jacks figuring if one died the other may not be far behind. Downside, he did not have enough hose on his truck for both jacks so we decided to postpone until this morning.
Long story short, it took 2 guys 7 hours to do the new hoses with a lot of the time spend just fishing the new hoses through the water bay but I'm now up and operational. Great job, everything neat and I didn't have drop of fluid on my garage floor.
Cost-wise I though it was very fair at just under $700.00 to replace the two hoses.
If you ever need hydraulic hoses done while in Tucson I can't say enough about these guys.
