[QUOTE="TexasTimbers, post: 15524, member: 1649"] I've tried every combination with the two hoses that connect to each cylinder, that are possible and I get the same general result: the cylinders are conflicting each other to the point that they twist the boom assembly to the point that I'm afraid something will fail. I can get the rods to move in unison by using one combination, and I can swap a pair of hoses on one cylinder and get them to move opposite of each other, but no matter what combination I hook them up, when I pin both rods to the boom frame there is no forecasting what will happen other than it isn't going to be right. You can feel and hear the pressure building immediately and if I were to keep moving the pedal something would fail. This last go around, no matter which input I gave the pedal, the boom assembly moved up, but of course was all twisted and threatening to bend a rod or bust a weld or blow a seal at least. I am out of ideas. It [I]shouldn't[/I] matter which side the cylinders are mounted right? I mean, they are exactly identical in every way. [/QUOTE]
