Electric Jacks Slow Raptor

[averagejo]

I have a 2007 raptor toyhauler 5th wheel and am having trouble with the front electric jacks. They move really slow and sometimes do not want raise at all. An RV technician suggested that maybe the motor needs replaced. Is this something that I could replace myself and where can I get the parts?

Thanks!!!

Hi and to the site.
I found this on a diff site hope it can help.

Slow Landing Gear:

1) Low Battery Voltage
2) Bad Ground
3) Lack of Lubrication on Jack Screws and Pinion Gear

Thanks Ill check it out!

I changed mine to a dual motor set up from Bulldog. Great product so far. Faster than stock, heavier landing gear, snaps welded on and two speed choices.

sounds like a weak battery

I just tore mine apart last night, on the driver side, the thrust bearing was broken and froze up. So when i would lift it all the weight was grinding on the bearing rather than spinning freely. I had intended to just pull it apart and grease the screw but I found this. ends up, the screw grease was great. Hopefully it will lift better when i get it back together.
