Pics of the genset head. 12wire...

Here's the data plate off the generator itself -

If your truck is like the 809 series you'l need longer wheel studs or offset lugnuts up front.

They can be pull started in a pinch... (at least the 818s can)

Looks like 60 amps of 3phase 208V can be had here. My intent is to wire the male version of this onto a cable and connect to my 3phase air compressor.... comments invited. 208V vs 230v shouldn't be an issue. The compressor will pull something like 40 amps.

14 feet of new fuel line later.... IT LIVES! Now to learn about the electrical side of things. Ideally I'd like a way to access 50 amps of 230v single phase to power my shop welder.... I also plan to use this for its intended function - environmental control for my M129A4. And it'd be nice to...

Perkapillar I believe...

IT LIVES! Well, sort of. I jumped it using the HMMWV today and got it to run. It immediately began spewing fuel out of a thousand pinholes in every rubber line. So I went to NAPA and bought 16' of line. Tomorrow begins fuel line replacement. These things are ODD! The batteries are separated...

I keep forgetting my insurance card and registration since there was no good place to keep them in the truck. Now there is. I bolted in an ammo can to serve as a center console. I used existing holes so no harm was done to the hmmwv.

I'm wrong. I readily admit it. I went digging to find where and how this little nugget of misinformation found it's way into my consciousness. It came from here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?136867-Glow-Plug-Failure/page2 it seems the cascading failure of one glow plug...

A double thickness of 1" stall mat?

My understanding is that the system sends power based on the resistance of 8 glowplugs. Lose one and the others are over energized and fail one after the other. Each one that fails increasing the overload on the next. ( it's possible this is CUCV specific ) I have had no glow plug problems, so...

Monopoly - either you deal with them directly, deal with someone who deals with them, or abstain.... each has its own set of evils.

I believe missing one glow plug will cause the others to overvolt, producing a cascade of failed glow plugs. Do without functioning glow plugs entirely - keep your truck in a heated garage....

I'm sorry, but I'm clueless. It's the one in the GP ad that I sent you the link to the other day. Here's a pic of one of the tags on the genset.

I'm just now starting to go through a drash trailer I bought last year. It has fluids, and I'm ready to try cranking it...

It was a long difficult job, but I replaced the broken driver's side door handle today.... (New handle sourced from SSG Gibb, endorsed)

Idaho got it right. I defy you to misinterpret this - " 10 49-458. MILITARY VEHICLES. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to 11 the contrary, a vehicle built for the United States armed forces may be reg- 12 istered and operated on public highways of this state,"
