Slide screeching sound

When extending the passenger slide for the living room, I hear this terrible metal on metal screeching sound. I've sprayed oil, dabbled grease on the gears, but can't stop the noise. Any ideas what causes this and how to fix it?
Please and thanks.

Mine also did that, I found where the hydrolic ram adjusting NYU’s the threads go thru a bracket, I put anti seize on the threads and no more squeezing.

Hyd slide out... try cleaning the gear packs on that slide out and lightly lube the bushings per Lippert TI

Also check the clearance on the hydraulic ram shaft as it goes through the metal side under the slide. Mine rubs a tiny bit as the factory didn't install the slide centered in the opening and I haven't gotten to it yet due to heart issues.

Are you sure it is just not the rubber seals squeaking. Silicone spray the rubber and try again.

If you clean the gear packs and lubricate bushings and it’s still screeching the most likely one of the wear tabs is worn down allowing edge of roller bracket inside inner tube to rub metal to metal against outer tube

Slide-out rubber seal treatment. It's a foam spray Works great. I used it on both the bottom and side seals. I think I bought it from Walmart.

Mine was doing the same thing. While at the Goshen Rally I took it to the factory repair center. They replaced the gear packs plus the wear tabs. That fixed the screeching problem, but they did not synch the gear packs correctly and the rear end of the slide does not close completely leaving a gap. I'll have to drop the rear gear pack and push the slide in to get it even.
