Thank you! This video saved my ass when one of my slide motors failed while the slide was out. Short and simple. Thanks!

Well done - short and to the point. Thanks!

Great advice if boondocking and the slider is stuck out (can't drive RV). This way you can at least get the slider back in and drive to a repair shop instead of hiring a rig to tow it to shop. Great idea about the 2x4 to hold slider in while driving.

I removed motors and could barely push slide out in. Can’t pull it out. Why would it be so stuck.

Haw do I replace the hole gears and realize?

Why can it NOT slide with the motor connected?

The BEST way to fix a Shittech slide is to replace it with the VROOM system

This is why engineers suck when you need to go to all this work instead of just hand cranking to close it. Engineers suck. Who brings a hand saw and 2x4s with you so you can repair something? Why not design a wrench to throw in back tool box to close slide? Because engineers suck. The old school ways work so much better.

I don't recommend that U pull these screws out. I did and I am really really sorry for that, I didn't think it through. It has been a long worry. Don't do it.
