Can you post up some pictures of how you have it set-up? With pictures, we may be able to help you. I am having a hard time figuring out your reservoir set-up.

I got it set up the way you are describing,but i think that when the front of the truck goes up near vertical the u shape copper pipe empties and doesn't, allow fluid back to the reservoir.
