Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / July 2007Update on why my 4.0 Onan failed after literally 2 hours of run time .
Took the Gen. in for diagnosis at Cummins/Onan Repair Facility this morning. The crankshaft had broken in two they said. (no wonder it wouldnt crank !) . They will check with Onan to see if they want them to rebuild it or just put in a new motor section of the Generator. > crankshaft...broken > rebuild it or just put in a new motor section of the Generator. If the unit has only two hours on it, I'd lobby hard for a NEW unit. Onan can fix the "old" one and sell it as refurbished.

I am going to take out an extended warranty on it , thus giving me almost 5 years of parts and labor protection for $325. I think thats worth it considering how much im going to use the Generator , and, taking into account this 'anomoly' . The latest is : Onan is going to give me a brand new complete Generator instead of the just a replacement motor section as they had problems with the casting on some. Thats alright by me !! Ya hooo !
