Tilt drifts with truck running or not
Blocked off tilt cylinders to rule out packing

I think there are three possibilities.
1. There is a counterbalance valve built into the tilt valve spool. Could be broke, scored or contaminated. The spring could also be broke.
2. The tilt spool is damaged.
3. Once of the spool centering springs is broke.

1&2 and the top spring can be easily done in the truck. But I can't remember how easy it is to get to the bottom spring with the valve in the truck.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
