the 5831 is a small aux compared to the 7 and 8 series .they were huge . the 5831 were used in so many different applacations IH smaller 6wheel Autocars GM's I have seen them in older whites in the earley 60's vintage. we used to sell them to people in maine to put in there trucks do to hills;heavy logs or what ever . you could use them for any purpose like that as long as the ratio does something for your truck. hope this helps it was my job to dismantil trucks for 10 years . dam I miss that junkyard. I now have a job where they have to put heat on in the winter (sissys). nothing like the crisp NE air blowing with a -10 wind chile to keep you going all day .
