Default Rear Electric Slideout Slow

My 2004 Crescendo electric rear slide-out is very slow and sluggish. I have lubricated (dry lube) all the rollers, hinges and screw but still need to assist with a slight push when the slide is being opened. It seems to retract pretty good which makes me think that it can not be a bad motor. Has anybody experienced this?
The DC lights dim to a glow when operating the slide even when plugged in. Is this normal? I am afraid that I am pulling to many amps off the batteries with this problem. Looking for a place to start looking without just replacing parts, the electric motor is over $300 to replace.

Did you ever have any luck on the slide issue? My 2005 Friendship has a bedroom slide that needs help going out. I have to push it out while holding the switch. It will close slowly. I changed the switch have new batts and have lubed it. Its a weird "scissor style mount with screw drive. Any help or ideas appreciated.

I worked on it today and did find the voltage drops at the switch. I am hunting g but if I have to I will rewire it. I also need help with setup adjustment procedure. My pass side bedroom slide has a scissor style frame on both sides. I am afraid I messed up the adjustment working on it.

I don't have that type slide, but, when I removed the cover, there was a sticker on the inside that had the name ,manufacturer and adjustment instructions, with the cover off you can check voltage right at the motor
