In December, when we went to hook up our trailer, the tongue jack barely was able to function. The temperature had been well below zero F for a week or so, and was -10F the morning we hooked it up. The lithium batteries had been stored in our heated garage at the house, so supplied power should have been adequate.
I'm likely going to disassemble it and clean out the OEM grease, and replace it with some low temperature grease. I was almost not able to turn it with the manual crank, either. It would have been a struggle once it started to lift the truck some.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom on disassembling these? I usually just dive into stuff like this - maybe I'm getting wiser?
