Just thought I would share this, for anyone that has to do any splicing. I had to wire in a new connector on an older diesel F350 over the weekend, and used these: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/2213600-8/te-connectivity
That particular model is for 16-18ga wire, but they make sizes for the 20ga that is found in these gensets (just look at the data sheet for alternate part numbers). Very solid connection, pressed together with a pair of pliers (the leads then pickup a bar at the bottom of the connector to complete the circuit). IPX8 rated, so water and environment is no issue. Relatively inexpensive for a real solid hold, no inline crimps to fail or wiggle pull out.
