Default Re: Rear Electric Slideout Slow

Dont know if your having the same problem I did, but mine was the gaskets and the luan on the bottom of the slide. the gasket on the bottom inside was torn and getting in the roller on extend. Also the plastic on the bottom of the slide was all smashed from the weight and then the thin wood, it was like a luan, was crushed and falling apart. I panned the the bottom with aluminum sheet , that was more trouble than it was worth, but what worked really well, was I got some stainless about 1/16" thick by 8" wide and used as a runner on top of the rollers, It works great now. If you do it, run the slide out and then back in about 3", that leaves you play for lifting, I just put a 4x4 on my floor jack and lifted one side and slid it right in , not over the roller, then slide it sideways over the top of the roller. Dont how other slides are constructed, but this seems to be the weak link on Crescendo's, saw one in Fl on a lot that was just rotted bad. Good luck
