I have a stock picker that is giving me some trouble with the steering. To start out everything works fine when the SP is in motion (forward or reverse). But when at a stand still position the steering gives me some issues. first, when cranking the steering wheel from a complete left position to right position of the traction tire. it takes 4.5 revolutions of the steering wheel. And reverse action (right to left) will take 12 revolutions, sometimes 10. other times it will wrench out giving me a 217 code. this all changes when I jack up the SP. with no load on the drive unit everything functions as it should.

I have tried taking readings of the steer motor in both positions (on floor and jacked up). I had little if any inconsistencies in my readings.

I have tried swapping feedback encoders, but I get the same results.

Any info you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks,
