You could also have a faulty tilt relief valve. Did this just start happening? was it a gradual failure or all of a sudden?

Chances are the fluid is bypassing in the tilt cylinders. They either need to be repacked or I have also seen a void between the rod and the piston that holds the packing that seals against the shell that lets the fluid bypass.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
