Slider Woes...any ideas?
Just got into a different parking situation where I really need to invoke my slider. I have a Reese basic rectangular slider, 16K and pin weight hovers around 3000#. It's just a few months old. I could not slide recently so when RV was disconnected I lubed all surfaces and got the hitch to manually slide (no load) quite easily (although it was a bear to "break loose" the first time). Now, a couple weeks later when I'm trying to use the slider (under load) it ain't going anywhere! I tried several times, with handle in different locations (trying to find the sweet spot if necessary) without any luck. I have not brought it to the dealers attention yet but unless I can get this thing working he's going to have a "slightly used" hitch on his hands. Any suggestions on how to improve performance? Yes, I have searched and found a couple threads but nothing real current or specific.
