Quick Jack 5000 at Costco

[BeastAR]

yaaaa.....so one of 3 boxes randomly showed up today. Waiting for call back from Costco.

Mine came in 2 shipments. 3 of the boxes (right jack, pump unit, and accessory box) arrived 1 day, and last one (left jack) the next day. The tracker worked somewhat... showed 2 boxes one day, then 2 boxes the next day. I would have to click each items tracker to get the actual update. Makes more sense when your looking at the tracking email Costco sends.

Those aren’t porch pirate items as much as those weigh lol

I 100% agree.... Would take a small army to tote them off

Okay. Did the prior owner say why they did? From the pic its clear someone hacked part of the skirt off behind the cutout from the factory,

Just an fyi, my 2016 is like that too. The front of the car has a larger cutout than the rear.

Yeah. Don't know why some road grime looked like saw marks to me.

I just received mine, 3 boxes total. I assume I have gotten all of it, will find out this weekend when I attempt to assemble it.

Awesome, I created a separate thread with my feedback. I just got it all last night and assembled it in a few hours. My biggest advice is don't bother testing the system without a car on it. It's a nightmare and it was engineered to have massive weight to bring it back to horizontal.

Mine came in 3 boxes: right side, left side, everything else.

Mine came finally in 3 boxes with one box delivered each day.....strange. Prob assemble tonight or tomorrow. Went out and got the ATF then watched youtube. Surprised to see you need and air compressor to fill parts of it. Borrowing my buddies. Maybe I need to break down and get on of those two. I do love power tools. Just don't have much need for one that I can figure.

You can use a bike pump... just a typical shrader valve. Nothing fancy.

Don't have that. Do have air pump for car tires.....hmmmm. Back to the garage. Done except that. Lol

If you can fill your tires with an air pump you can use that for your air cylinder that requires 40-50 PSI. I'd recommend 45 PSI. Don't want to go past 50 PSI and it inflates really quickly. 3 1/2 seconds

Yup got it done. That lil canister is small! Loses air quick. Ended up using car tire pump to put it to 50 and then check it quick with the tire pressure gauge I use for drag racing. It loses a couple PSI just doing that. It's at 45 each side. Put it under car with the tall blocks and it works AMAZING. Up and down multiple times for giggles. Great purchase, gotta change the oil tomorrow.

I don't know why I'm a lil surprised by how much the rubber pucks displace under load. I have the Steeda low profile jacking rails and they sit at a slight angle is seems like. Not perfectly parallel to the deck. Car is solid on the lift though.

Use a rubber spacer problem solved


is the weld cracked ?

 

[762Cat]

Nope not cracked just a shadow in a crappy photo. It's the space between the arm and the weld.

Another thing that surprised me.... everyone on youtube seems to bleed the system and do it wrong to boot. Nowhere in the new manual does it tell you to bleed before operation. It's way in the back of the manual as a separate section that says "The Quickjack Hydraulic Cylinders are generally self-bleeding, but if you notice jerking of the Frames or Frames rising and/or lowering at different speeds, you may want to manually bleed them." It tells you to put the frames completely vertical wait 30 seconds then open the bleeder screw. Makes sense to do it this way. Get all the air to the top and lose less if any fluid. Wonder if the instructions changed because every video I've seen including Quickjacks own video from 7 months ago show it being done with the stands at a 45 degree angle and cycling it then bleeding it. New way makes more sense to me.

For the record I didn't bleed at all. Followed the manual exactly.

Functions properly, no issues. I may bleed for giggles later on.

Yeah I didn't like how much it flexed either. I don't have the rails though, so I was going straight into the pinch weld, and it wanted to cut right through it. That's why I built my wood block sets. I would recommend anyone that does not have jack rails to either use blocks of wood, or those aluminum "pucks".

Unrelated, but man you got a nice setup in that garage Props for being an equal-opportunity "tire roaster" (e.g. Ford + Dodge). Like I told my buddy who is an import fan...I don't care what it is, if it's fast, I like it.
