Lippert5/16 in. x 3-1/4 in.Genuine OEM ReplacementLippert 136162 Detent Pin -- 5/16 in. x 3-1/4 in. Slide-Out Retention Hardware

Keep your slide-out locked in position with this genuine Lippert detent pin. Part number 136162 is a direct factory replacement for worn, bent, or missing retention pins on a wide range of Lippert slide-out mechanisms. A small part with a big job -- these pins secure slide-out components at key travel and deployment points, and a failed pin can mean unwanted movement or a slide that won't stay fully extended.

A Simple Part That Keeps Your Slide-Out Where It Belongs

Lippert's slide-out systems use detent pins at multiple points in the mechanism -- in rack assemblies, mounting brackets, motor housings, and travel locks. When one of these pins shears, corrodes, or goes missing, the entire slide-out mechanism can lose its positive retention. This 5/16 in. x 3-1/4 in. pin is the correct factory specification for the affected positions that call for this diameter and length.

Stocking a spare is smart preventive maintenance. These pins are consumable hardware that sees stress every time your slide-out cycles. Having the right replacement on hand means a roadside repair takes minutes, not days waiting for a service appointment.

Genuine Lippert OEM Part

Factory part number 136162 -- the exact spec Lippert builds into its slide-out systems. No fitment guesswork.

Precise 5/16 x 3-1/4 in. Dimensions

Diameter and length match the designed retention point. Using the wrong size pin risks mechanism damage or failed retention.

Broad Lippert System Compatibility

Used across multiple Lippert slide-out product families including rack-and-pinion and cable-driven systems.

Simple DIY Swap

Pin replacement requires basic hand tools. No special equipment or alignment procedures needed in most applications.

Where This Pin Is Used

Detent pins in Lippert slide-out systems serve as positive-stop and retention fasteners. Common locations where the 5/16 in. x 3-1/4 in. pin is specified include slide-out travel lock assemblies, rack mounting brackets, and motor or gearbox mounting positions. If you are matching a failed pin, measure the shank diameter and usable length of the original before ordering to confirm this is the correct replacement.

Confirm Before You Order: Measure your existing pin or cross-reference with the Lippert parts diagram for your specific slide-out model. The 5/16 in. shank diameter and 3-1/4 in. overall length must match your application exactly. Lippert slide-out systems use several different pin sizes depending on the assembly location and model year.

Maintenance Tips for Slide-Out Retention Hardware

Keep It Working Longer:
  • Inspect detent pins and clips at the start of each camping season and after any rough towing.
  • Apply a light coat of dielectric grease or a PTFE-based lubricant to the pin shank to reduce corrosion and fretting wear.
  • Check for side-play in the pin bore -- excessive slop indicates a worn bore or bracket that should be addressed before the pin fails entirely.
  • Replace the retaining clip or cotter pin along with the detent pin whenever you do a replacement -- clips fatigue and stretch over time.

Common Slide-Out Problems This Fixes

  • Slide-out drifts or moves slightly during travel when it should be locked
  • Audible rattle or clunk from the slide-out mechanism on bumpy roads
  • Slide fails to reach its full-extension or full-retraction stop point consistently
  • Visible missing or damaged pin discovered during inspection

Important Information
  • This pin is sized 5/16 in. diameter x 3-1/4 in. overall length -- confirm this matches your application before installation. Using an incorrect size pin can result in mechanism damage or unsafe slide-out operation.
  • Do not operate your slide-out with a missing, bent, or sheared retention pin. Secure the slide in its retracted position for travel until the repair is complete.
  • Always verify the retaining clip or cotter pin is properly seated after installing a new detent pin. A pin without its clip can walk out during vehicle operation.
  • If the pin bore in the bracket is visibly elongated or damaged, the bracket should be repaired or replaced -- installing a new pin into a damaged bore will not restore proper retention.
