I'm Boondocking about 50 miles outside of Boise in the mountains of Idaho. When we got to our boondocking spot, I tried to unhook the trailer. But the LCI electric tongue jack sounded like it was running very slow and bogging down. After blowing two 30 amp fuses, I gave up and resorted to hand cranking with the manual nut on top. I was able to separate the truck and raise the foot plate on the jack. When I go to hook up again, I plan on using my 12 ton bottle jack to hoist the trailer back onto the truck.
So my questions. Has anyone ever disassembled one of these jacks? If so, would cleaning and lubricating the jack screw aid in resolving the issue? Is this something I could do in the field? Of should I just wait till I get back to civilization and replace the jack?
Thanks,
Jim
