PowerGear Jack Problem

Not to hijack, but I have another kind of problem with my POWERGEAR hydraulic jacks (only 1)....it's leaking.
PowerGear tells me they have no dealer network, and I would have to order and buy anything from a dealer (they will not sell to me...the end user)...and they don't offer re-building services.
Not really trusting an RV dealer to rebuild for a long lasting repair, so far I cannot find a hydraulic shop in my area that would do the job.
I was advised that I really should forget the rebuild and buy a new unit.

Any opinions out there? Any idea of prices? (I will remove and re-install myself).

Power Gear sent me instructions on how to reprogram the control box. I will try that when my rig is in my shop next week.

I greased the jacks( has nipple) last week. It is obvious to me that the problem is not with the actual jack hydraulics but something else in the system. That is why the fronts do work in manual mode. I am thinking it could be a loose wire, bad connector or something in the control board. I emailed PG and should have an answer Monday.

Not sure of the sequencing of your jacks but my PG jacks come up rear 1st then front that's why I mentioned motor running because by the time the front come up the battery could be getting low but that's not the issue then. How often have you sprayed the front jack cylinder (when extended with a silicone spray? Might try that.

Yes motor is running. The rear jacks work as designed so amperage draw is not a problem.

DO you have the Motorhomes motor running when using the Power Gear Levers? Most units say run motor due to excessive amperage draw of the Power Gear System.
