So my grapple was working fine one day then the next it will still open fast but shut real slow. With no gripping pressure. Can’t figure it out. Where should I start?

    From reading other threads, I gather that you should check your A1 and A2 solenoids seems they could be sticking. The more difficult is the joystick. The thumb wheel version has a magnet in it that breaks off. Search for the thread on rebuild if you don’t want to buy a whole joystick. I have the push button type. From there it’s checking voltage on lines to the ECM. Good luck.

    Hope it’s solenoid and not ECM
