Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at a slide out gear pack. This one's from Lippert Components. This is their heavy duty version. You can see it's got steel rollers here and here, and we'll talk about those in just a minute. This is the 2.5 by 2.5 replacement.

General applications for this are going to be anything from October, 2013, up to current. That means it has a 15 tooth drive gear right here, in earlier applications in that you'll want to go with the one that has the 18 tooth gear pack. Everything else we'll talk about, it'll be the same. That part number is LC122739, so if you do need the 18 tooth go that route. But basically this is going to give us a superior upgrade to the current roller that we have underneath that slide-out.

Now this can be for the through frame or the above floors type slide-out.So regardless of which one you have, this is going to work out really well for you. This gives us our drive shaft and gear. You can see that gear floats on there, and as the motor turns, these tabs are held in place, and see it rotates that drive gear. Now that's pretty much the same on any of them that you're going to look at the biggest difference with this one. It's going to be the steel rollers here and here.

Generally, we're going to see from the manufacturer, we're going to see plastic rollers. Those rollers always wear out over time. And eventually you'll either going to replace it, or you're going to get a bunch of that, that kind of chunking noise as you move it in and out. You're going to hear that gear slipping, that gear slipping, that gear slipping. It's because it's not engaging properly.Our rollers have worn down, and it's not allowing the system to work properly.

You can see the attachment plates here on each side. I'll measure those for you, just so you can confirm it's going to work for your application. So you can see here from center to center we're at about three and one quarters of an inch. So from the center of this hole to the center of this hole, three and one quarters of an inch. The roll pins that you see here and here, these are going to be removed. This is just keeping everything together so nothing comes apart as we send it to you. Then you'll notice we've got the bolt holes here in the end. So once we have this in place, we're going to pull our pins. Of course, we'll slide it through, get it in place. And as we do, we're going to slide that shank, that connects to the motor right over here.That's what spins our gear. And it allows our slide-out to roll on top of these heavy duty rollers. This is going to prevent a lot of the issues that we have when we get out there and the slide-out won't come out properly. It wants to stick or jump as it's coming out, or it just quits working all together. This is going to be an excellent way to upgrade that and ensure that you get years of great service. This is one of the things you're going to replace this, and you're never going to have to replace it again. Versus if you go with a synthetic type or a plastic type of roller here, it's likely if you use your camper often enough, you're going to be replacing this. So all in all, it's going to be a really good solution. We've got two and a half inch rollers here.I'm also going to do a measurement on the center to center on each of these holes, and on these holes, just to give you an idea. It's overall, the shaft length, going to be about six and three eighths of an inch, center to center, on our holes there. The outermost here are going to be just at five and a half. The inner most, center to center, is going to be right at four and a quarter. So again, this should fit most of the slide-out applications. This is specifically from Lippert Components, but on your slide-out, if these match up, if your tab measurements here to attach are the same. If our rollers are the same, and the spacer or the spacing between the holes are the same, this would be an excellent replacement for any one of them. The actual shank here. This is going to be right at five eighths of an inch.And overall we've got really good construction. The shank has been milled. Each of our end plates here have been milled. So it's not a cast, weaker cast type material. You can see both of the rollers have a nice yellow zinc finish on them. So we're going to keep corrosion down to a minimum. And our gear is really well-made. It's also a
