    It seems like our lull brakes are getting worse everytime i run the machine. When you press the brake pedal gradually down it doesnt do anything until it gets to that spot where they engage and then they slam on. There is no feathering the brake for a controlled stop anymore, they either are...

    Lull issues

    Hi everyone I have a 2008 Lull 1044c54 that is causing some issues. After running it for about 10-20 minutes the engine will sometimes just shut off. If you wait a minute or cycle the key a few times it will restart and run fine for another 10 minutes or so. The check engine light is on on...

    Our JLG 1200 is making a screeching/ whistling sound right after you stop retracting the boom. It sounds like its coming from inside the boom but i cant pinpoint exactly where. My guess is its something hydraulic related like air in the system. My questions would be how to get rid of this...

    Cummins 3.3

    So as you can see we have a problem here..... This motor is in a Snorkel TB 66J lift. It was smoking really bad and determined that the #2 cylinder was losing compression. I figured it was a bad injector, but was quickly proven wrong on that! We removed the head and had it pressure tested...
