Linde H30D, 393 series truck surges when hot.

Once hydraulic fluid is hot the truck surges in forward and reverse at low speed only. All pressures check out good. Blew compressed air into port Y and Z (forward and reverse) of hydrostatic pump and air was bypassing through the servo pistons seals. We replaced seals and the truck worked fine...but only for 90 hours.
Found once again that piston seals were bypassing. Disassembled pump, seals and pistons where seals ride are like new. Reassembled the pump and now piston seals hold pressure but I don't think that the issue is permanently solved though.

Any ideas??

if you're talking about the travel surging,
3 solenoids in a row on trans under air filter box,
take the outer ones(not middle) off and see if they are
shiny(not corroded), sometimes you can buff up the cores a bit,
or change core and solenoid,
that's for surging/ choppy travel at low speeds.

this is common you have to replace the valve block on the pump they develop hair line cracks internally if the truck has had a hard life this is the cause,unfortunatley they are very expensive,hope this helps

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
