I got my 1987 Chevy up. But my hydraulic isn’t lowering do you know why?

[@donavonstackhouse-ll1bd]

I have a 2000 Chevy dump truck can you send me a video on where to put the hydraulic fluid at for my dump bed

[@BrantleyBlended]

I have never owned one or worked on one so I don’t know. If you don’t see a tank or reservoir to fill up then you might have to fill it up at the hydraulic cylinder. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have 89 ford one ton I'm pulling a ram system on. I was wondering if the one on your chevy is laying down under the bed at a 10⁰ angle. And if you have any problems with it dumping.

How many tons of stone can I haul 454 87 r30

[@BrantleyBlended]

Maybe 2 tons. It depends on the truck. The GVWR for an 87 R30 is around 9000 - 10000lbs I think, depending on model and specs. How much does the truck weigh empty? Subtract that from the GVWR and that should be how much you can haul. If you upgrade things like suspension, tires, brakes, etc then you could probably haul more but I’d be careful if the DOT pulls you over for inspection.

My 85 F350 has a GVWR of 11,000 and weighs 6,500 pounds. That leaves me with 4,500 for payload. So, yours would likely be similar. However, I haul 6,000 pounds regularly.

I've hauled 4-5 tons in my 1988 R30 but only on my property backfilling a basement. I don't put that much in it anymore.

[@UnblockedOne2]

@@tszymk77 I haul 3 yards if topsoil regularly. Also, sometimes pull a 1,000 pound trailer with a 2,000 pound mini skid steer along with a 6,000 load in the back altogether.
I bought my dump truck off an excavation contractor that was in the process of retiring. He put .533 gears in it. Sucks having to shift so much, but makes a big difference in the hills when fully loaded.

specific amount would’ve been great rather than guessing
