steve,
as you likely know there are two slide rams for the front salon slide. each one about a foot or more from each end.
it is more probable that you have an obstruction than it is that you have a faulty cylinder.
when the floor goes down, it has to go all the way down for the slide to completely come in i believe. so make sure you didnt drop anything down the opening when the floor goes down. with the slide 4 inches out yet, the floor should still be down. or extend the slide some more and look inside the floor opening before the floor goes back up when you are fully extended.
the slide cylinders attach in locations you can view to see if anything is obstructing the ram. the rear cylinder attaches in the bay next to the entrance door in the ceiling of the bay to the left of the door. you can take the foam ceiling down and look in there with a flashlight.
the other ram attaches in the front passenger side front wheelwell. you can see a rectangular plate above the tire on the top of the wheelwell. you would have to have the coach fully raised up to do it and be careful you dont get squished.
there is one other thing that could hang it up possibly. there is a limit switch on a piece of angle iron in the bay in the middle of the slide on the drivers side in the ceiling. it prevents the slide from coming out when you change a slide seal and it somehow could have gotten hung on it. doesnt make sense but something to look at. it is in the ceiling of that bay under the insulation. you can also see a bit of the slide rams and floor from there as well.
my bet would be on something that dropped and got jammed in the moving floor piece from the inside.
you can always call the 24hr help line of newell as well.
lets hope it is something simple
