Don't care what the Video shows. You need to understand that for years LCI stated to NOT install any lube on this system. Then at a Training class at our dealership years ago, the LCI Trainer also stated NO LUBE AT ALL. I then showed him LCI's You Tube video that you list and he was very surprised. I have probably replaced at least 50 sets or more of the complete rack system over the years as well as rebuilt a few. I KNOW where the parts are that need the Lube. And those parts are easily lubed from the outside IF you know what you are doing. Doug
I have a 2011 Holiday Rambler vacationer with Schwintech (sp?) slides. Mine squeak in and out. AND when the big slide is nearing full extention it goes really slow. When I put it in, it almost doesn't move then SLOWLY comes in about a foot before going faster. I'm afraid the motor will burn out eventually? What can I do, or is it normal? Thanks Mark
