Hello folks, is the Ace actuator ram serviceable? Has anyone done it?

 

I just replaced mine with a new unit when it started to leak.

 

At $300 I was hoping for a repair option on the one leaking...

 

When and where were you able to find yours?

I'm in the same boat with trying to find a replacement, but most vendors I check (US and abroad) show the part as out of stock or no longer available. This must have changed in the last 6 months or so as I remember seeing them available last summer.

 

Looks like I replaced it 5/18/21 - ordered from lrdirect.com

RQK100000G (Ram) - $203.47
RVX100000 (Boot) x2 - $11.46
Shipping - $30

I checked their website and it says that it's not stocked.

Not good. I have a couple of trucks with ACE. Not happy to see the parts may be harder to find than before.

 

I found that John Craddock had an actuator in stock, but it didn't mention the brand. I went ahead and ordered it and it came packaged in a Britpart box -



It will likely be awhile before I can get it installed, so at some point I can follow-up on how that goes. Although not shown on the website image, it did come with a boot as well.

For now this aftermarket unit is in stock - https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/rq...ing-strut.html - and they do say the OEM unit is available with low stock, but 'may need to be ordered'. I figured I'd take a swing on this one since it was ready to go, and $120 less.

 

Glad you could find one! Kind of makes me want to get a couple and put on the shelf for later use. I know eventually I'll need a replacement!

 

One of mine is leaking. I just ordered from lrdirect.com. After I install the replacement I will see if the leaking one can be repaired.
