Slow hydraulics

I have a couple of trucks where the sideshifts are moving veeeerrrrrryyyy slow. Aux system is only running about 975 - 1000 psi (should be almost 1800). The lift/aux pump is less than a year old and the solenoid valve isn't the cause either. Anyone have ANY ideas? We're fresh out.

cylinder bypass would be my first w.a.g....
I would also be considering changing hydraulic oil and filters... as a preventive maintenance.

try lifting and sideshift at same time,if it sideshifts,reach or tilts faster, that means the pump isnt running fast enough,the aux side of pump is bad

Every year for Thanksgiving, the President of the United States is given a live domestic turkey by the National Turkey Federation (NTF). While these turkeys used to be slaughtered and eaten, during the presidency of George H. W. Bush it became standard practice for the president to issue a ceremonial "pardon" to the turkey.
