Make sure your slide in not hanging up somewhere before you replace the motor, it could just be hanging up somewhere. Lippert has the slide manual on their site.

Timothy, that is great information. The Lippert manual has information that I have been looking for for years, including the manual procedure. We have a 2003 Gulfstream Conquest 30BHS, and the slide has been slow and sounds strained since the day we got it in May of 2003.

A few years ago, I did find a place where there was some sheet metal rubbing against the rail, cut it back and there has been some improvement. But still the thing sounds strained.
