Best lube for rubber and gears on slide out.
My slide out is making all kinds of noise (squeaks grunts jerks) what is the best lubricant you have found for this problem. I am pretty sure its just needs some sort of lube..

My S/o made ahorrendous amount of sqeuaking and screaching noise when new. Both dealer and factory said there was nothing that could be done and that "They're all like that".
I had my DW extend and retract the slide while I was under the rig looking for the source of the noise - which I found.
My slide glides back and forth on rubber rollers. These hard rubber rollers use long bolts as axles. It's the friction of the rubber against the metal bolt that made all the noise.
I put a jack under the s/o and lifted it about 1/4", just enough to take the load off the rollers individually. Then I removed each roler and lubricated the inside of them by applying a liberal coat of grease (silicone grease actually - great for rubber) and after that, it was not only silent but it also moved smoother.
