Expert Reply:
If you've replaced the motor and your slide out is still creeping then it's most likely a worn crown gear in your slide out's gear pack. Over time the teeth can wear and allow the slide to creep outwards. We carry a few size options for replacing the gear pack so you'll want to measure the arm to figure out the correct size for your trailer. I've attached a video below where I'll walk you through this as well as the replacement process.
2"x 2" # LC281331
2.5"x 2.5" # LC123356
2"x 3" # LC140409
If you watch the video you can see that the motor turns the room bar, which then turns the gear pack, forcing the slide out to extend or retract based on the direction the motor is moving.
