F450 dump is having issues. Hyd. fluid is at the right level, bed is really slow going up, and makes noise like it's struggling. Coming down is fine as it's always been. What do you think - hyd. pump, motor, piston, etc?
 
The pump is making noise or the Anchor on the bed?
When is the last time u grease the anchor on the dump bed, to much friction and rust does not help.
also electric pump or pto?

She totally crapped out today, got stuck w/ the bed 1/2 way up w/ a 50' 20" Locust & deadwood off a Willow tree in it when they tried to dump. We were lucky we could get the debris out relatively easily. It's the pump motor that's shot, wouldn't go up or down & you could smell "burnt motor". Dropped it off w/ our mechanic this evening, what a week, 1st our 260 Pro then one of our dump trucks :(
