Jay, Don't toss that jack, yet! I read this quick fix on a truck forum a while back. It helped me with a 3-ton Craftsman jack that gave me troubles from day one. After three years of cursing the slow action while pumping it works like new. In a nutshell, there's a valve that sticks. Here's how you fix it: stand on the wheels so it doesn't roll - release the handle like you would lower the jack - reach down and lift the lift arm and platform - "drop" it down and repeat a few times. This can "unstick" the valve if that's the problem. Worked for me. You may have air in the system as well. Raise the end with the bleed hole while filling just to make sure. Don't add oil while it's extended -you'll make it a squirt gun or it'll lock up! Good luck. John
