My Harbor Freight parts washer pump died so I needed to find a new pump. Amazon had the same pump for $35 and after the first one that I got broke when screwing the tube fitting in the port I decided to do something else. There is a video on YouTube about installing a Beckett pump into this...

I have been down the same road many times with non standard sized windows. I found that shopping around at door and window supply companies got me a better price than the box stores for a custom size.

Another view of my 3500 Dodge diesel 4x4, asymmetrical lift.

I use the round fiberglass markers, they have a reflective tape on them that really shows up at night. Put them around the driveway in the winter makes it easy to find the edge of the driveway when snowblowing...

BendPak is changing their color from blue to Gunmetal Gray. I'm glad I have a blue lift, not sure I like the gray. http://www.bendpak.com/bendpak-going-gunmetal-gray/

I have rebuilt the QT series and would imagine you will need to replace the reed valves on your QE. The QT has a reed valve assembly that you replace but I think the QE has individual reed valves for replacement. I would pull the head and check if the valves may need to just be cleaned. Your...

My name is Steve and this is my BendPak, lifting my 3500 quad cab, long bed diesel, almost 8k. XPR-10AS 168

No way the truck would have broke in half lifted the way it was if the it wasn't rusted like that. Better to have it happen in the shop then going 65 down a highway. Glad you weren't under that thing when it let loose.

Pics with cradle dimensions.... (woops, that's suppose to be 4 15/16")

I bought the new style frame cradle pads a few weeks ago. BendPak said they would not be shipping until November but I got them delivered early. You should call another supplier if you are having trouble getting them.

I wonder if things have changed with the arm length on the new lifts? Posted this in another thread but here it is again.. I have a new XPR-10AS-168 that I just installed. I have it in the wide configuration, the narrowest vehicle I have lifted was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Had no problem...

I have a new XPR-10AS-168 that I just installed. I have it in the wide configuration, the narrowest vehicle I have lifted was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Had no problem finding lift points on it. Largest was a 07 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel quad cab long bed, no problems with it either.

I just bought a BendPak XPR-10AS-168. I was told by BendPak that the screw pads were the only thing that changed. All the dealers have these lifts shipped from BendPak, so if your local dealer is $400 more than online I would order online. Even then you should shop around for a 'discount'...

I went and looked at the Atlas lifts in person and was not impressed, just seemed low quality to me. After reading about every post on the internet for weeks I have decided to buy a BendPak XPR-10AS for 3k. I talked to BendPak technical support and they are telling me this asymmetric lift will...

I'll get some inside pics when I install my lift. Just finished it up. Doors have been on for a week or so. I store a 5th wheel behind the 14' door and the rest is for my pleasure. I needed more space so I'm moving out of a 24' x 30' that is behind this new building. Will have a BendPak 2...
