    Its a momentary switch. Did it work before the electrician wired it? How did the electrician hook it up?

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    Did you drain the fuel tank put fresh fuel and filters in it. And replace any cracked fuel lines? They usually start easy. Use the 3 120v legs each to neutral. Prob good for 45 amps per.

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    The ac is neat. But its almost overwhelming unless you have a large area to cool. It would make your cabin into a wind tunnel. The generator part itself is pretty compact it comes off the trailer easily. Use the 3 120v legs each to neutral just balance the load and you should be fine for cabin use.

    Should fan clutch hold when cold?

    With no air in the system the fan clutch should hold. Run the truck cab open then open all the air tank drains. When all the air drains down the fan clutch should engage then when you close the air drains and air builds again it should disengage.

    Have boxes with dual 350a contactors. Made to switch the load back and forth but with some minor mods could be used to bring each one online one at a time.

    guidance needed to parallel 2 drash gen sets together

    I have a way to parallel these units now. Have dual contactor boxes that will allow for bringing both gens online to the load one at a time. The 2 gens would need to be operating in parallel mode with one as master. The contactor box would need some minor modification to make this work.

    Practicality and other questions

    It makes a great second vehicle. Its not good for your primary vehicle unless you have a specific need for its capability. Like hauling 5000lb loads of ammo up and down dry dirt roads. Then yes its the daily driver for you.

    FMTV CTIS system

    Air up tires. Remove banjo bolt put plastic bag scrunched down over banjo and hose. Use rubber band to make airtight. If air is leaking thru the wheel valve the bag will expand.
