i have an o8 jayco eagle 322fks with king bed slide. we are having problems with slide coming in and hanging up. the bell stop is letting the room come in too far and when i push the button all you hear click,click,click. i have to back off on bell nut and lossen bell,then the slide will open.i have had it to two dealers for adjustments.you have two ease the slide in ,not to over tork.has anyone had this problem and if so how did you correct it. thanks george
If you mean that when you try to let it out you get a light click, click, click, then we are having the same problem but it happens on both slides. The dealer cannot get it to repeat the problem.
The only think I have found is that we need to try to bring it in some more, obviously it won't come more, then extend it. After trying to bring it in the slide will then go out.
This has happened about three times so far. I always have it level and with supports down when extending so I don't think it is a leveling problem.
I am taking it back in a week and have this listed as a problem I will take a copy of what you have done and see if that helps our dealer. My 2 year warrenty is up on December 6 of this year.
It may be time to contact Jayco service directly, thus by-passing the dealer. E-mail them the service claim and/or problem history on the slide(s) with your TT VIN, also stating that the problem has yet to be resolved....., they should respond in a couple of days.

had the same problem with mine to where i'd have to use the manual crank and give it a few turns to loosen it so it would work. mine was the bell looking thing, but mine was completely loose and was closeing too tight. Front slide was on it's way to the same problem-adj nuts were just starting to loosen up. I did some research on how they opperated and after much adjusting/testing i got em good. both of mine were in need of several adjustments but are fine now(was also out of warentee) if yours is still covered, let them deal with it, if not find someone close and pay for it or do some research and do it yourself. also found a 'LIP sheet' on lipperts web site on lubeing the gear pack assy. even though the manual says no lube required. did wonders for mine and a few others here that i have heard back from. it now has become a periodic maint thing for me.
also with mine-when i bring it in and it stops, i momentarily hit the out switch to take some of the tension off the motor/gears. just a seconds worth and no, the room doesn't slide out during transport.

when the room clicks trying to open it want go out ,it tries but the bell stop is so tight against the frame of the camper it puts it in a bind and will not open without backing off the bell nut.when you here the clicking going in and out you are running the room too tight ,your over riding the gears, putting them in a bind. mine started out doing the same thing.at 1st when trying to open ,when it started clicking i would have to run the room tighter and then it would open.
jayco returned my call today ,i explained my problem,they are sending my dealer a new motor and drive system to solve the problem.anyone with same slide problem have dealer to contact tony at jayco.when i get it fixed i will resubmit the results.

Do you have an website address where I could print out that information on the slide mechanisms??

i basically used the manual that came with mine and rummaged around lippert's web site.
with the bell, i tightened the adj nuts, slid it in, checked if closed, gave the adj nuts a few turn and tried again. i did this till it sealed correctly. front one was a little more involved as it had a few problems. heigth adj had come loose-luckily i could tell where it was suppose to be from the paint. also the side to side was a little off-1 side sealed, other side-bottom corner-was maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch out. i did height 1st, then side to side then in/seal.
beleive lippert does have their manual on line-though it's not all that informative--gives ya the basics and you have to figure out the rest
