The electric jacks were part of the "mandatory option package". Our '05 has happiJac. Newer units have Rieco.
If the unit you're looking has manual jack, it may be the previous owner didn't want to spend the money to replace bad power heads. Wiring should still be there but who knows.
Manual jacks aren't too bad to use if you keep the TC about truck bed height when it's off the truck.Manual jacks aren't too bad to use if you keep the TC about truck bed height when it's off the truck.
In my case, that would require having the damper jacks at almost full extension all the time. Not a good scenario at all.
What I do (I have manual RT jacks is, I use my DeWalt cordless drill, 2 of them, wife on one side, me on the other and use a RT adapter (HJ has them too) in the drills to extend and retract the jacks. It's quick and painless, faster than motorized jacks by a long shot.
