Ray I think you just jinxed us . I heard we got a hurricane developing west of Cuba and it might be heading towards us ( I'm in southwest Florida).
Hurricane 🌀 season getting ready huh lol ❤❤.
It still doesn't change the fact you blew up one of the diode trios in the rectifier bridge by disconnecting the battery with the engine still running.
You won't notice it now, but once both nators are under a heavy lead, that bad diode pattern WILL come back to haunt you...
In order to know for sure, you're going to need a S.A.B.R.E. machine. You have to DC the pigtail to each 'nator, plug in the appropriate adapter, hook it up to the machine, connect the alligator clamp to the alt output post, and then measure the wave output of each one to make sure you don't have a bad diode pattern.
Under normal charging conditions, you aren't going to notice, but if you DO have a bad diode, as soon as you put it under a massive, heavy load, it's going to make itself known.
Maybe you did, maybe you didn't, but until you get both of them on some kind of oscilloscope, you can't know for sure. Do you REALLY want to wait until it becomes a thing or would you rather know now?
(My automotive instructors had a heart attack, a stroke and three kittens each when I told them I did that once. I was 17 at the time, I'm now 45, and I doubt this law of Electro-magnetism has changed much.....)

The only thing’s missing from sitting in the bed of the truck with a fan and stereo is a cooler of cold ones and a sun umbrella.
NAH, A Brock-a-brella.
Just a waste. As I said when gas runs low. See how much that works. Maybe u can set a bicycle next to it and pedal like gilligans island. Real emergencies don’t last a day or two. You’ll figure it out maybe
@@m0t1veOT like I said any emergency that would hinder gas delivery as would be in the future would be a big issue. Hell but keep wasting cash on car generators. If u like mobile power fine. It isn’t made for home use. Not really practical. But hey it’s cool right. Just ask how cool it is when no delivery for fuel. Just something to keep in mind.
Such a kid!
Solar coming soon. I want to see that, I am just starting to get into the solar things.
Rammstein !!!
"Florida Man" builds 10,000 lb. diesel-fired mobile generator complete with lawn chairs and party speakers!
That shot of you sitting in your chair in the back of your truck should be your thumbnail.
Great timing considering the storm coming up through the Gulf as we speak
Chance favors the prepared. Hurricane season, here we come.
Silvery-rado hype video! Can't wait to see the comments after you mount an M-60 to the roof.
🤣🤣🤣
We need to call Brandon Herrera
Personally I would go with twin M-2's
@@jackhouston357 At $3.00 per round that would get expensive.
@@RainmanRayOffDutyIf you call him you are gona end up with a PKM or even a DIShKa on the roof.
Keep the family safe #1 responsibility. All other comforts during dangerous weather is gravy. Persevere…
With the storm heading your way, you are prepared. Stay safe and hope that weather it with no problems.
Ray, using your ol'girl as a generator is very inspiring. As a mechanic myself, I get a new knee installed 08/29/23. I need new content to watch while healing. I Love It!
Heal up well and follow PT. Plz don’t skip the PT
I get a new knee 9/26. Just had hip install 6/22.😊
Good timing upgrading just before a possible landfall Hurricane in your area.

If the road warrior had a truck instead of a car... This is what they'd have.
The storm is coming brother. Be safe with wife- unit and kiddos 🇺🇸👊
Just in time! Another Hurricane on the way! Now let me know how to lower my homeowners insurance costs.
Only people talking shit are either not from Florida or mad they dont have this setup.
You sir, are ready for incoming hurricane. Congrats.
LOL, with all that amperage, at the very least you should have a power recliner and a wobbly-pop cooler in the truck bed.😎😎
I can run way more, I the fan and radio only pulled about 120w. I think can run a fridge or two plus another fan and lights
Twin Turboed ? Oh no Twin Natered ! WHAT ??????????????
Yep, a storm is brewing! Good timing Tay!
That actually isn’t a bad idea. To have that with your truck in the event you tow a travel trailer to go on vacations to get power when you are stopped somewhere that doesn’t have shoreline power like a truckstop or rest area the only thing I may have done differently is to purchase a heavier duty power inverter like what is sold at the truckstops. I bought mine for less than $300 and mine is a 3000 watt that is in the tractor trailer that I drive over the road with. I know you pretty much used what you already had to install in the toolbox and that is definitely OK also
Your setup very much reminds me of the engine bay in our rigs (ambulances) back in the day when I was a newbie, I marvelled then, and have mad respect. Not only for the thought process put into this, but even more that the majority of what you installed was "factory" parts from GM. I hope you were able to put the fonishing touches on it prior to the arrival of Idalia, but I have been mostly praying the Idalia fizzles out before getting to you and your family, and that tjere will be no need for the additional electrons my friend. I pray that all of you stay safe and dry. Enjoy a cold one good dir and charge it to my account.🙏💜
Ray, if you want to take this to the next level, lemme know. How about dual 220a STOCK alternators (meaning you can replace them at an auto parts store if they die) AND fully adjustable voltage control for EACH alternator?
My boy here falls victim of a leaking water pump, radiator hose, radiator, glow plugs etc. I wish him luck but, everyone experienced in disaster recovery knows that running a fridge for eight hours a day is sufficient. Lights when it becomes dark etc.
Hi Ray, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and your family that Idalia will be a complete fizzer.
Good luck with the storm Ray and Family. Lets hope it stays small and goes away quickly.
Florida Man DGAF about what others think about his off-grid solution. 🤣
Cool beans! just in time for the next big storm headed your way...3 days or so?? stay safe. Great setup you have there too!
Hey Ray, check out the easy start for your house air conditioner. It will let you run the air conditioner with a smaller generator.
It’s not worth the risk to the a/c unit. Ray is better off not pushing it as would be a costly oops. I’ve spoken to multiple hvac guys about it.
If I was on a regular larger generator
Then I would definitely use a soft start on a central A/C
They are made to help ease the start up load

Tim The Tool Man: "I can see the problem right here. I need more POWER!."
Not useless if needed, and with Hurricanes coming again,, Nope.
Rain is headed your direction, If your on low laying area, Time to do the around the house stuff! 💪
Everyone else is hiding in their panic room while Ray is sitting outside enjoying music and wind during a hurricane.
I know someone who is looking forward to a hurricane, only person in Florida! Prep is good.
Just in time for hurricane season nothing wrong with being prepared to make things easier when the 💩💩 hits the fan
You got a hurricane coming get your truck/emergency power finished
Rocking Rammstein respect adjusted to GOD mode.
You better get that wiring finished because there's another hurricane headed your way.
Hey man, thinking of you through Idalia. Be safe and keep your fans posted when you can. I am really happy for you with your dual alternator setup.
Just in time for a hurricane in next couple of days.😮
It’s not a work truck anymore. But a survival one.
Think it will be ready for the incoming weather this week?
Just in time for the next hurricane😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅
Sometimes we have to do things just because we can. A moral imperative.
anyone saying this was useless or a waste of money, has not thought things through.
So someone here on YT is apparently saying that there's a hurricane that is headed for Florida, so watch out! As a matter of
fact.... Ryan Hall, Y'all EXTRA UA-cam channel advisory 5 hours ago A Major Storm Is Brewing In The Gulf...
It’s just a little one, we’re ok 👍
Keep an eye on weather! possible cat 4 in your area!!~!!
That hurricane is going to test your truck very soon I think.
Yup. Might come ìn handy again in the next couple of days Oct 25 2024
Ray, you need to install a transfer switch next to your home's electric panel. It will require a special output connector from your truck. You can then just plug the truck right into your house without needed any extension cords. Can't run the whole-house AC, but an run a window unit.
Hurricane coming your way soon......😮😮😮😮😮 No joke
To the neigh sayers, it's your life not theirs. You stated back at the begining of doing this that you needed portable power like this if you were away from the house on your property. I see nothing wrong with using this as an alternative source of power in the event of an emergency. And it's also a sound plan to switch between sources if you need to use it full time for several days. I like what I'm seeing and I say keep up the work with thinking outside the box.
Ray I think you just jinxed us . I heard we got a hurricane developing west of Cuba and it might be heading towards us ( I'm in southwest Florida).
On its projected path it looks like it will hit the Big Bend area but you would still get storm surge, wind and rain. Ex Florida guy:
Orlando, Ocala, St. Pete, Naranja Lakes, Homestead. Manage to leave before Hurricane Andrew flattened Naranja Lakes.
Hang in there Ray, looks like you are gonna get a storm…
I love your truck! And it just keeps getting better 😍
Just in time for any weather relate issues this season
And now we found out what was hiding in the trailer.
Just in time cause a storm is heading your way
Why do this? I believe its name is Idalia...
This is a man that provide his family protection while listening to Rammstein. Priceless! Hope the storms isn't going to be so hard at You.
Riding the storm out would work,I remember that song from back in the day
Hey Ray you got it done just in time now patten it
Hats off to the true hero of this setup - the serpentine belt! 🍻 It is handling all the mechanical energy transfer needed without complaining. ⚙💪
I have a Tri-Fuel Honda 8000, and like someone else mentioned add a soft start kit to your central A/C. Propane is the way to go, it stores indefinitely and I buy cheap crappy used BBQ grills online for as low as $5.00-$30.00. The 20lb bbq tanks are easy to handle and easy to get filled. I currently have 6 of them and each tank runs the generator for 10-14 hours depending on load. In winter I hook up the Big Buddy propane heater if needed. I'm in southern AZ so I can count on one hand how many times I even use a heater. But your truck is cool, and I hope it's ready, they project a hurricane coming your way in the next week 👍
My friend used to volunteer at a recycling center. He gave me two extra tanks and kept three for himself.
Y'all stay safe these next few days.
Just in time for the next “I” storm.
Are you looking at getting the hurricane that’s coming for Florida?
I don’t think I’ll get the brunt of it, it should pass north of me. I’ve never been on the south side of one before
Love your music selection
Rammstein. 🤘
Great idea Ray, My 12KW is so loud at night I have to shut it down. You can never over prepare for hurricane season.
Ray, get yourself some REAL speakers for outdoor. Think JBL, Meyer, Electro-Voice to begin. Other than that, nice job, bud.
At least I loved the Jammin part LOL........So you now have a diesel tesla, if it comes up missing I DID NOT DO IT ! I can't steal this; it doesn't have a BBQ and litter box. kick rocks.
Hurricane party ready
Alrighty - I'm onboard. :) What would be more impressive is if you bought a window air conditioner unit with a built-in inverter (easier and smoother electrical pull) and somehow managed to build a "comfort cubby" enclosed area in the bed of the truck. "Ideas worthy of consideration" (TM). Cheers!
Why do this? The answer is simple=Moar elektrons!! 😂😂 And I'm guessing, extra power during hurricane season.👍👍
Yes , Rammstein. Deutschland
I know someone that builds 454 LSX marine engines, I work for them. Built one today custom painted Royal Blue.
125th! GOOD SUNDAY EVENING RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Ray just wondering don't you need a spacer sleeve around the bolt that goes into the bracket that holds the alternator.
The p/s bracket has the sleeve already. (I have also ordered the shorter bolts mentioned in the earlier video
Add mini beer fridge and let it ride👍 didn't even have a Hurricane and found a tree limb straight down through my detached garage roof today. Calling Jake from State Farm tomorrow morning.... Have a great evening Ray ✌️
So here u are sitting on a chair on the bed of your truck listening to music and being cooled by a fan. What u have accomplished is fantastic. For you. The truck has over 200 k and u want to stress it even more. I know I am going to get creamed here but, for me, never would I do this with all that mileage. A normal generator, gas , if u have a gas stove, or propane would be much better but also cost more. The generator can be enclosed with cooling ventilation so u don’t hear the noise. And a good old transfer switch installed in your electrical panel. U have tricked out that poor truck to no end. It looks u are going to get hit with some bad weather soon, I know what u have accomplished will work but I also hope that u never have to use it. With the land that u have, I would have built an ‘electrical shack’ away from the house. Let’s hope that storm makes a quick right turn out to sea without touching Florida.
Ray ......If they take you, plead the 5th. keep your nermal bobblehead and try to keep your eyes open , when your wife screams, take out your trusty bag of skittles and pitch her a couple.
Banjo's playing in the background, video approved no gravity, click.
Great set-up but I'm a little upset that I only heard you mention this new channel on today's other channel video about 3.6L pentastar misfire. I got some catching up to do.
When you have the power, you are glad. When you need the power, you are mad. Simple really. You stay safe!
You should install an electric car charging station on your pickup, making the Silverado carbon neutral!😂
You the man!!!!!!
Best car for driving to a "organic store" and do some donuts on their parking lot while waiting on the next zombie apocalypse ;-)
Love the intro music! I know it is Rammstein and I think it´s Deutschland. Try the Du Haste in Paris video.
Welcoming back!
You just want the ultimate tailgate truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now that you have a rolling power plant, when it comes to oil changes, are still going by milage or are you switching to hours...........
For my power back-up, I'm going build warp engines that run on Di-lithium crystals...........
Nice chill setup in the back. Best wishes to you and the family and your auto shop. What was the violin song at the end of the video.
I've been planning a similar build with an electric start lawnmower motor. Reason being that running the fridge through the night would be silent and the motor is just needed to be started when the battery goes low.
Wow! That second alternator mounting job is NUTS!
I love that truck and I'm not even a truck guy, I'm into old shitbox bimmers. 😄
Ray all that was missing was a fridge and electric barbeque and that would be perfect
heh "this vehicle is not equipped with the ambulance prepatory package"
Sorry to say but some of these videos are starting to get out there but I’ll keep watching for now just saying
