My 2 cents here, I had a horrible screetching when extending and retracting the big slide and it was the last 18 inches or so of the extension or retraction. I tried all the dry lubricants recommended, plus some others, and I know not to use something wet such as grease. I read somewhere to try a spray on graphite. I found some at Home Depot. Extended the slide all the way out and used spray brake cleaner to clean off all the other tried remedies, and then sprayed down anything that looked like it could be metal to metal with the graphite. Retracted, extended and retracted and extended, and sprayed down again. All the screetching and squawking is now gone. I called LCI before I started the hunt and that was about as useless as...... well, I will let you finish what you think I was thinking.
