It really is good stuff for keeping an eye on fasteners. The local diesel injection shop uses it in injection pumps they rebuild to see if anyone has been in it, if so they void the warranty. They usually have 2-3 colors on it.

That is why I always had my units use a torque seal type indicator paint to give a good visual indication of any nuts that started loosening. Made it easy for my mechanics and the operators to do a visual check for issues. This stuff works well and is easy to see once applied. If one starts...

You are going to run about the same price for an RV unit as a good running 831A. But in the long run when it comes to maintaining it the 831A will be more expensive and frustrating. That RV Onan set you can find parts all over on the road, any Onan dealer will have it or get it next day...

Honestly, for this application I would probably look at used Onan or Power Tec diesel generators made for RV's. Shop around a bit on the used market and you can find them around what you would have in a running, known good 831A especially down there in Florida. And they are already set up for...

All versions of the M1028 has the front LSD, as well as The M1031 and m1010

Not a 1028

The only real uses the emergency shutdown were intended for were: Someone is getting electrocuted and you need to stop power ASAP. Some sort of tactical event demands you shut it down ASAP. The rest of the controls don't respond and that is the only way to shut it down.

I agree. Half the doors on M1008's and M1028's around here are from M1009s because DRMO almost always smashed the doors moving them with forklifts. The big dealers here were getting prime $$$ for the trucks in the late 80's-mid 90's and were buying M1009's for doors and other parts to build...

That is why I said that it is the pack that GM otherwise ​only put on dual wheel trucks.

Short answer- who knows. since they didn't have anything invested in them if a part was needed fast they could have swapped bad parts for good. If it was me I would do an in-frame rebuild and then know for sure what I had, especially if it is a truck that is needed to work and make money.

yup, M1028 will have the same overloads GM otherwise only put on dual wheel trucks.

For a 12v one, yes. For a 24v one fining a gear reduction 24v in a junkyard is going to be pretty damm hard,,,

Not off the top of my head. Schematic in the TM will tell you. i can almost guarantee you swapped them. We used to intentionally swap them to create a problem for new mechanics to troubleshoot in training and that is exactly what it did.

I'll bet you have the wires on the top of the IP swapped. One is your shut off and the other controls the fast idle that is only powered when the engine is cold. swap them and see what happens.

This is a copy of the lesson used at the schoolhouse for generator mechanics on the 831, it explains a lot of how it operates. I am sorting through lots of manuals I have on hard drives, so more to come. I am uploading to the manual section too, but figured most people won't see a new listing...

From the super secret Warrant Officer vault...

I will share these as I sort them, I have several hard drovers and a few dozen thumb drives with various files from all sorts of sources from before I retired from the USAR. I have a ton of stuff to sort... Here is the first one, a nice paper on the 4L80

It doesn't help you now, but this is why I ALWAYS tell people don't take anything other than a clear title signed over. No reassignments of a title in someone elses name, no SF-97's in someone elses name. a clear title signed over and in hand. If teh seller isn't willing to pay $30-50 at the DMV...

Here is the manufacturer.
