I know a lot of the older units had a lot of issues with the Venture/Lippert motors.
I've had this screech occur one other time about 4 months back and oddly enough, when dropping off at the shop for some warranty work.
Of course it didn't do it again when the repair shop went to fix it, so they didn't do anything.
Now it happened again a few weeks ago, and just did again today so I've got a real problem now.
The sound is coming opposite of the motor side (door side of trailer) and is a hellishly loud screech as you raise/extend the landing gear. Lowering it doesn't make the same sound.
I read somewhere that on an older '08 unit someone put some motor oil down the top of the tubes to lubricate them. I wouldn't know how to get to the top of the motor side of the landing gear b/c the generator takes up all the access, but have any of you experienced this, and what is the best fix?
Thanks in advance.
Btw, anyone know what the cost is for a hydraulic landing gear conversion?
