I am thinking of buying a 91 Caprice from a friend at work who bought the car from another guy that actually installed the hydros. It's a 2 pump, 10 switch, 4 bat set up. The kid rode the car for about 2 weeks before they stopped working. Since then it's been sitting (rich kid has like 5 cars). Apparently the guy who did install them came back to help with no success. I guess when you hit the switch it sounds like it wants to go up but won't. I know they did replace the solenoids (at least I think thats what he said)and nothing changed. I've been lowering cars for years but I am limited in my knowledge of Hydraulics. I did call the guys at CCE and he said it was probably not a big deal. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!  

check & make sure u got no leaks.  Might be block not holding pressure or gearhead not building pressure.  Check seals between gearhead and block  

q-vo matt try checking out if your slow valve is close or open all the way if not your check valve may not be goodeven your candle stick might be open n last check your key if its broken or a bad gear,close your slow valve the hit the switch it should go up and stay up if not its going up n come down then its your candle stick located where the dump its at it has a big nut on it take it out n cleaneit blow air through it.well hopefully thi can help n let me know alrato.  

Hey my friend, thanks for the info! I'm gonna get that ride in the AM. I can't wait to get into that Sh*t! Please keep in touch...I'll need all the help I can get!  

Yo bro, I am gonna get this *** on Sun Morn! I can'tell you how much I appreciate the help! I'm up here in Rochester, NY and the Hyro shops up here last about 6 months. I'm glad I came back to my roots in the lowrider community. I've been buying LOWRIDER for years and have been out of the game for a min! I've had some tight rides that I slammed but I'm a virgin in the world of Hydros and now have a good job etc. The best part is that my soon to be fiancee is into this *** too! I can't wait to hear those pumps workin! I need a mentor in the Hydro world that can help out when the *** stops workin! I guess I'm just happy to find someone thats familiar with this stuff! Thanks Again Bro!

lots of good info in that book in the link above    

  Hey, just got the front working last night..I have a feeling the guy who installed them did a half assed job on the back...The main problem was the batteries were shot. I went and bought 4 new ones and I'm good. Quick question for you or anyone else that can help, the pump in the back is trying to work but smoke comes out if I hit the switches for the back. Is it that the fluid is low (if so what the hell do you use for the fluid)or is that a good sign that the motor is toast. Also, how should the slow valve be set, I am a newbie and have no idea what it's for although I have my theories. On that note the car is not lifting as fast as I thought it would, is it possible to adjust that? I'll stop there with the questions, thanks for all of the input..as I said before I,m up here in Rochester, NY and there arent even any shops to call up here for support. Thanks everyone, I look forward to hearing from you!
