Is that mechanism one that ratchets when it gets to the end of its travel?
If so i had a problem with the fifth wheel bed slide in that it ripped the actuator mounting bracket from the floor.
Turned out that the stop was not set even near right at the factory and the actuator was exerting way too much force when pulling in or out before the ratcheting clutch activated.
Reset the stops and rebuilt the messed up mount and all has been well.
