Busted Hydraulic Line in Grand Junction, CO

About 50 miles from Grand Junction and I have a busted Hydraulic line for my levers and slide on a 2007 Winnebago Voyage 38J . Looking for advice on a truck or RV service shop that can do the job and get me back on the road. thanks for any help you can provide.

    I should have posted this earlier, but if you can remove the line yourself and take it to a shop.....

    Every tow truck company from here to there and back again uses and far too often blows lines.. So pull the line and ask them where to get it fixed.

    I got to do that in a month or two (When my funds improve) and then I need to replace a jack and ... Well, lots of work needs doing but those are jobs 1 and 2.
  • We have friends living there. Want me to call them? Call 970.313.4337 and ask if they will do it of maybe you already have it fixed.
  • you will be money ahead to pass on transwest truck. After the work they done for us we got about 50 miles into Utah and had to get hauled to a Caterpillar place on the west side of Utah. The mechanic at Tri-West (after I ask him to take the grill off and remove the radiator and he informed me he didn't have to) punched about three holes in my radiator. There was another couple there when we got there and they didn't get far and had to have their radiator replaced.
    Think long and hard before you got to TransWest.
  • Try Transwest in Grand Junction: Address: 2236 Sanford Dr, Grand Junction, CO 81505. Phone:(970) 256-1081.
    Hours: Open today · 7:00 am – 12:00 am.
    They are a Winnebago dealer and have a good reputation.
  • Pass by the truck/RV service centers and hit either one of the hydraulic shops Old-Biscuit posted. You'll probably get a better hose and a far lower cost while you wait. Most place can do the removal and install considering their primary business is supporting construction equipment in the field.
  • Well, if you don't mind crawling around under the coach, you can do it yourself. I just finished mine....of course it was a 30 footer going to one of the rear jacks...took maybe 1 hour to remove the hose, take it to a hydraulic shop where they made me a new one (with fittings) in about 10 minits (@ $8/foot)and another 2 hours to snake it thru and hook it up. had to add about 2 qts of Dextron III.

    Just courious: if you do have a shop make a hose and install it, I'd like to know what they charged you.
    g'luck!
