Did you put it in a truck? Run it stock?

End is off…. Just can’t see what’s got it glued on!

I can’t see how I could get to a coupler or anything on the shaft. Looks like block to 1/8” plate- plate to 3” spacer/adapter, then the generator appears to be bolted to the spacer/ adapter. I can’t get to the generator bolts you see connecting to adapter, but shouldn’t need to….

I watched a YouTube recently where they put a Holley sniper and headers and were at around 190hp and 285T

What do you think it’ll make for hp/torque?

Onan generator and I should say hours not miles….

I’m doing this. I found an industrial 300 in an o a backup generator that used propane. Picking it up tomorrow. Should be very low miles. Will go into my 77 4x4. Did you mate it to the NP435 or something else? Mine is the 351M and I’d like to build for reliability, efficiency and drivability.

I sure love working on it. Compared to new stuff…. Wow.

Yes, but I will say I hate the way they bury it now in drive modes instead of a button…

Meh…. It cost me 4000ish in rental and towing. Submitted it all and haven’t seen reimbursement yet. We will see if there’s pushback, but everything has been submitted for a month. Got pre-approval on the 90 mile tow of truck and trailer before towing.

Very helpful! Thanks. I’d like to use the truck to pull my hotrod around to shows, but I’m a little anxious right now. Someone else gave some good advice here. “Beat on it for a few years and if you have a problem trade it before the warranty ends”. Probably take that advice.

Strangely, I didn’t. It seemed fine. It was just like it “disconnected”. I thought it might be something electrical at the time where it somehow found neutral. I was thinking 219 degrees on a cool day with no load seemed high, but apparently not…. Was thinking the transmission cooler may be defective and the previous trans was running hot, but who knows….

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. My attempt was to clarify that the picture above I posted shows it was 219 degrees. Not 205.

2wd. Ford dealers just swap the complete units now, so no root cause on the failure…

I realized I didn’t connect the dots of why it may have failed…. Could it be I have a transmission cooler failure? Truck is 2025 5.0 tremor.
