We pull a civilian heavy flatbed with ours hauling 20-40,000 lb equipment and can run 55-60 all day. We've never experienced any of the issues you mention.

Maybe there should just be a "Giant Truck" category. Here's our rather large heavy hauler:

Hello from the Denton area!

Agreed. We changed fluids and an overall lube service when we got ours, then have driven them hours and a bunch of miles without any maintenance issues.

Very Cool!! I like the creativity.

Has anyone ever mated a 8V92TA to an Allison 4500RDS?

I have the same problem on mine, so this is a timely thread!

Nice fix. Thanks for posting!

Hey there! We're located just east of Denton out near Aubrey. Good luck with your new purchase.

Be sure and take a couple of brake caging bolts. If you have stuck chambers then at least you can move it. I'm not saying drive it with no brakes, but at least you can move it and possibly get everything freed up.

I too will try to hook up a couple of different sizes of ours to see what happens. I've only ever run the same size together. I really believe it will work. The total load on parallel like units is greater than each individual gen can handle, so I don't see why two different sized units would...

The R1 designation is for vehicles that went through the first "Recap" or rebuild procedure done by Oshkosh. This particular model was an A2 off the line, then subsequently got the R1 upon rebuild in 2007.

Agreed. It's a whole lot cheaper to install gas or propane, then use a smaller gen for electrics. A propane tank is one install and done for a long time. If you want a 20-30kw mil gen, you better consider the amount of diesel that's going to get used. A newer, reliable, easy to work on 5kw 802A...

And I picked this one up in FW...

Yes, it'll get driven. It will be one of the centerpieces of our Critical Resources Team which responds to assist other utilities in natural disasters or other emergency response situations. Will get our signature blue and black paint scheme.

Yes, I have truck. I've always taken "lucked out" to mean I was successfully lucky. As opposed to "my luck ran out" or I was "unlucky". In any case, I simplified it.

M977A2R1 5900 mi. Runs and drives great. What's especially nice is that it'll run 70 down the highway in stock form!! 1996 model overhauled by Osh in 2007. Last painted in 2016 and the bed doesn't have a scratch in it. Even came with almost all BII, including winch and crane remotes. All...

This is outstanding!

Looks great! Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy the fun!
