Does this truck have old school contactors in the rear counterweight? I've seen the springs in the contactor assy's get weak & the current draw across the contact tips keeps the contactors engaged after the magnetism has gone away.

I've seen dealers (IMHO) not correct issues in the hope you'll trade in older units so they can give you scrap value for your lift

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
