I like the truck in your avatar....

The below is plug and play - The house has a plug on the power pole. Plug the house into the genset and turn it on. Flipping the switch so the house gets power from the genset automatically isolates it from the grid so that you don't electrocute any poor bastard working on the line. Service...

Actually, with the budget you've got, do it this way: What you want is an M1070 HET and an M1000 trailer. Carry an OTR-90 on the trailer. Park the HET outside the storm track and drive the OTR into the midst of it...

If you're swapping motors anyway, why pay extra for an A2? Lots of surface area for wind to push on. I was caught in a sudden storm in NM earlier this year while driving an M923. The wind was truly impressive. Ripped the top off and pounded me with hail. Pushed the truck around, but it...

Engine ? Or ENGINE ?

Take a good strong magnet and stick to the bottom of the oil pan . That'll anchor the broken piece beyond possibility of moving. Or you may get lucky and maneuver it out the drain....

The rear main seal probably let go. Unfortunately I have experienced this.

I'd put the jeep in the M923. A flat tire on the 105 with the jeep in it wouldn't end well.

These systems can fail in the ON position and fill a cylinder with noncompressible water. Badness results... (Just being the voice of doom and gloom)

If you're doing all that work, may as well pull out the gutless turd of a 6.2 and put in a Cummins 5.9 or 6.7. The G56 would then be the transmission of choice.... End result would be a conservative 650hp and 900lbs/ft of torque. I wonder what piece of the driveline would break first...

I ran my Miller Multimatic 200 off of a MEP-802. I was running 1/8" 7018 @ 120 amps. It tolerated it just fine. (In theory the welder needs 50 amps @230v). We tried running my Hypertherm 600 off the same genset. It immediately fell on its face. Turning the plasma cutter down to half output...

MEP-803 is the latest and greatest 10k genset to be released by the military. It's probably what you're looking for. The previous generation equivalent is the MEP-003. When bidding, make sure what you're looking at is a 60hz machine, as there are also 400hz that look real similar. If you...

Box is full again.

Be ****ed, I find myself to be in complete agreement :) What was that? Something about a string and a feline orifice? :)

You basically have 2 options for adding a winch. Putting the original winch costs about $1750 + a bunch of work. Adding a 24v 18k warn winch is both cheaper and easier. If the winch is a must-have, it's better to just get a truck that already has it.

No gold bar, but hope they don't find algae in the tank. And hope the genset meets expectations - No water down the exhaust and rusted shut exhaust valves. They paid $5k for what they think is essentially a new genset. Hopefully they won't be disappointed at pick up time. Back to the OP -...

The 809 series does not have this problem. When stuck and rocking a 939, it adds a shift and it's counterintuitive which makes it easy to forget, resulting in split transfer cases. The 809s' sprag makes for its own set of problems rocking. You can't just let it roll back while in a forward...

No strong preference either way on the engines, although I really like how the NH250 sounds (trivial I know)

Bikeman has been known to pick up and hold...

I suspect that some time in the last 3 years it has been moved. ...
