Open Range Slide Out Problem
Please help. My dad is leaving tomorrow for a short trip and his slideout will not go out. He states it just makes a clicking noise...move about 2 inches...then stops. It is the slideout on the rig...

My Electric. slide has a slip clutch that clicks when the side is all the way out, or all the way in. So you know when to stop slide. Could it possibly be that there is an obstruction causing slice to stop. May try this, get two helpers and have someone activate slide while the other two people PUSH on slide, and see if it will go out. If slide does go out, I would bring it in to see if it will close all the way too.
Recently on my slide there was an obstruction that prevented slide stopping about an inch for going all the way out. Once I got obstruction removed slide is working fine now.
Cable operated slides used on Open Range TT's do not have a slip clutch.
I'm betting the OP has a unit with a failed gearbox. When they fail they usually shear off a couple of gear teeth.
Yes, bad gearbox. Service tech said they have had 4 OR's that needed replacing.
