    Gota question or two about the Alts in my M1031

    First off, does it matter which side of the motor the alts are placed? The shop where I had them rebuilt blasted the cases and my scribe lines are gone. I know should have used a cntr punch! Also the belts were not on the truck, and from the TM's I can't tell. My guess is right side/pass to...

    Are the BIG resistors needed?

    The alts have 100 A stamped on the casing as far as blue box havn't seen 1. The M1031 has a 45 Amp PTO driven 3 phase gen that supplies the power for the air compressor and recepticles. Why would they put the larger gens on? Its not supplying power for xtra equip. like A.C. and med equip such as...

    Are the BIG resistors needed?

    When I got my M1031 home I had the gens tested (cooked), and rebuilt $100 ea. The batts are fried and at the moment have not the $$ to replace. The resistors wires were cut, im guessing by the NG and what looks like a manual GP switch was rigged to the dash. I put an ohm meter on the GP's they...
