I have a 2002 altec LRV55 boom.The guy who does my yearly boom inspection and dielectric test called me this afternoon and was telling me that altec has put out some type of recall for bushings and or pins in the knuckle?! He is going to be intouch with altec tomorrow and is going to get back to me. He is gonna try and come out as soon as he can to check the knuckle. They have been contacting all their customers with altec booms. If they cant fix it then I will have to bring it to altec which is about 2 hours away. He was saying they have some pro-rated warranty on this problem and is going to get this all sorted out and let me know. Everything worked fine and the boom flies smooth. We check it over everyday before we go out and its inspected every year. Truck is staying parked until further notice, just cant chance it. Just wanted to let everyone know incase anyone out there is running an altec. If you are I would suggest calling altec direct to look into this. I will post more once I find out more.
