I have a 2003 FDTS40 #74777 Alpine coach with the Onan generator slide out in front.
It goes out with no problem and pulls in up to 1-1/2" from completely in and stops.
It just started this on the last trip stop for fuel fill up.
I have checked for obstructions etc. and had someone push on it with no change.
I have crawled under and there is about 2" of screw left to the drive unit.
It sounds like a switch or relay click when it stops.
I can't see any limit switches that stop it?
Does the drive have a current shutoff if the load increases?
I can't find the wiring diagram for it in any of my diagrams?
Is there a control box for it?
I always appreciate any help offered.

Motor limit stop mechanism is by resistance. You've probably got some stuck rollers. Time to pull them, soak same in diesel or good rust breaker, lube them & re-install.

Mine were all sealed bearings. I replaced all I could get to without removing the generator. I went to a bearing supply house to measure them. A few of them I had drill out for a larger shaft bolt but the rest of the bearing was the same size. I wired bushed and cleaned the channel rails. It is quieter and runs smoother now.
ITs FIXED!
Cleaning everything and lubing the bearings didn't fix the problem.
So I started to check the two align pins top front and found one was a bit loose and didn't look exactly the same as the other so I realigned it and the front pulls in correctly.
THANKS everyone for the inputs.
Hope this might help someone else.
