Not sure what you mean by free wheeling unless you are describing the sound of the lift motor running and no Hyd. functions. If so I have had the splines striped out between the lift motor and pump. I would start with a gauge. I think I remember this unit has a quick connect for your gauge.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
