Rwetzel, you didn't say whether the slide mechanism under the slide has been lubed. I don't recall the mechanism in the 2001 but remember our 2001 was different from our 2003. On ours there are two square bars with teeth along the bottom. I use a dry spray lube made for slides but other lubes would likely work. Just use something that won't attract dirt. I lubricate that entire bar, especially the teeth. Also in the gear itself, the gear at the end of those bars. I can tell when ours needs lubing. It gets a bit jumpy when retracting/extending.
