Doug, ... After extending the jacks for 30 hours I retracted them and sure enough, the same jack had issues. It retracted quickly until the weight of the rv was off it and then it slowed to a stop approximately 6 inches from the ground.
I was able to grab an ax handle and use it as a lever to push the jack up completely. I guess I have a bad seal in that jack.
Can these seals in the jack be replaced? Can the jacks be rebuilt or should I just replace the jack.
There are some local Hydraulic shops that can replace the seals, some posters on these forums have done that. But, I just either send the jack back to HWH for rebuild or buy a new jack. Sending for rebuild can take up to 4 to 5 weeks. Buying a new one about 1 week. HWH does NOT sell the seals, so the local Hydraulic shop just matches as best they can. Doug
