A little trick the Keystone Service Center showed me. First, you want something that will not attract nor hold dirt. They took what I had purchased at Camping World and sprayed it on a piece of cardboard. The then tossed dirt on it. It stuck. On the other side of the cardboard they sprayed something called TFE 101, or something like that. The dirt did not stick. None. So that's something you could check.
MIMF2, from Lippert, who makes the slide mechanism, says silicone spray is all you need. If a slide gets a little bit jumpy as it moves, you're overdue for lubricating.
Just lube the teeth on the two square bars and shoot some into the gear those teeth mate up with. Do not lube the round chrome bar. Just wipe it down good. That's my understanding, anyhow.
See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
