I also have a 2007 Dynasty and our bed slide operates very slow with resistance. After reading the posts I opened ours and found it was installed with 9/16 lag bolts. No problems with the wiring tray. However, it is also installed over the carpet and all lags were loose. After a few turns on all lags the slide now works 50% better and smoother.
The screws in the photo are way to light duty in my opinion.
It sure pays to read all these posts on a regular bases.

Filled holes with dowels/glued and installed 3/8" lag bolts. Drilled 1/4" inch holes between spacing of 3/8" lag bolts, installing 1/4" lag bolts. System now has twice the amount of screws holding slide framing. Slight over kill.
Would have liked using sheet metal or Spax screws but no local supply.
I thank, each of you for your recommendations and support.
Try filling the worn holes with tooth picks or wooden match sticks and wood glue.
When dry the screws will bite better. (old carpenter trick)
My problem is my bedroom slide goes out very slow, but comes in fine.

I use epoxy with sawdust or steel wool and fill the holes up. Then I put the screws in and
snug it up. If I'm happy with how tight the screws are I leave it. If not happy I take the
screws out, put more epoxy on the screw and it then should hold. Let the epoxy set up
before taking the screws out
