Clicking sound on slideout

[Hawkpat]

3400 Montana and middle slide has recently developed a clicking sound at the beginning and end of its journey out or in. Does not seem to hang up at all. Something to be concerned about?

hydraulic or cable slide?

Hydraulic

On our 3400, our bedroom slide started making a clicking sound before it extends. It doesn't make the noise when it retracts. I think it makes about rapid clicking sounds for about a second before it starts moving out. It started happening after I replaced the hydraulic hose for the main living room slide out. I don't know if it's an air pocket in the cylinder or what. But it works okay so i'm not going to worry about it now. I think I'll eventually pull up the bed pedestal and try bleeding the hydraulic line to it.

Every time you extend or retract a slide, any air in the system is purged.

DOH. You're right. Wasn't thinking.
