Raptor Landing gear VERY VERY slow!

My 2004 Raptor landing gear(electric single motor) is very slow. Approx 1"/minute. Anyone else have this problem? Looked for lubrication points and couldnt find any. Can anything be done?
Also was looking at ULTRA FAB dual motor replacements. Long travel, but cant find anything about the speed. Anyone know?

Have you checked battery, all connections, grounds? If all are good, you can try connecting the motor direct to battery. If still slow, I would suspect the motor.

I have plans to install a dual motor landing gear system. The big issue I have is the generator. Its in the way of the right side landing gear.

I have a Fuzion Toyhauler made by Keystone. Your Raptor and My Fuzion have the same landing gear. I complained about it being slow and weak from day one, didn't do any good. A few times I could not get front high enough to get level. I had the Level up System installed, The hydraulic system works great fast and powerful. The electric single motor original system is not adequate. Good luck.

@hoffbrew, how did you replace the one on the gen side? looks like you have to remove the entire generator. Is that the case? thanks for any advise, mine just broke at the top were the bar connects. i can see whats wrong but cant reach it
