At the very least the tank is connected to the pumps inlet. If there isn't a tank and both hoses run to the cylinder then the cylinder IS the tank. In this case you should be able to climb into the bed of the truck and find a removable door near the top of the cylinder. The cylinder should have a plug somewhere near the top where you can add fluid. You've probably already heard this before, but it's worth mentioning that you should NEVER get under a raised dump bed unless it is SECURED. There is often a short arm along the side of the frame that fits into a little niche in the dump bed to hold it up. Best of luck, John [Reply]  [Send Email]

The cylinder does look like there is some bolts near the top just under the box where I cannot get to without lifting the box. Unfortunately the box floor is one piece steel with no door. I may have to find some way to jack up the box. At least now I know where to look. Thanks PaMnd   [Reply]  [No Email]
