I am about to purchase a 2001 3500 Open. Both pistons raise the access hatch for the engine compartment fine, but lowering the port one goes down much faster. Multiple up and down to get it to close evenly, otherwise a severe twist. Are replacement pistons available, or is there an easier fix? Thanks
