Stevmon - Got your point. I usually would choose to rebuild myself, but with no success finding the correct "cup" shaped 0-rings and flat-round ram gasket, and seeing the score marks on the brass bushings, along with no supplier support to e-mails w/pics, it's time to bury the 20+ year old jack. | Don't let the price fool you. This thing is a monster. Most other places have it for sale anywhere from $50-$100 more. Lots of folks get caught up on the tonage a jack can lift. I replaced a 2 1/2 ton jack with this one and if numbers where what determined a good jack I would swear this was a 5 ton jack. I lift the GN, a minivan and a full size ext cab pickup without issue. You are never lifting the entire vehicle at once off of the ground with a floor jack. I was going to buy an aluminum floor jack but I when I saw this it has the width and stability that I don't think I would get from an aluminum one. One downside is it is solid and a 100lbs is no picnic to lift, but it rolls smooth as can be. Joe
