Diesel Generator suggestions

Costco sells a 2000 watt gen (1600 continuous) made by Smarter Tools. I have one and it works really well. Powered by Yamaha and looks similar to the Honda 2000 in size and weight. Very quiet too. The new ones are stackable and priced at $599. I got mine before the stackable model was available

Hi Paul!
I have a short bed with a manual slider hitch. I find the cut-outs on the front cap allow me to make tighter turns without having to pull the hitch but you have to be careful because one mistake and "crunch", the cab corner get mashed in (allows tighter turns is or worse "shatter" and there goes your back glass. I always recommend a long bed because of my mashed-in cab corners experience (they're fixed now . You can PM me for more info

Since the outdoor power equipment shop I work at services diesel engines, I would not advise anyone to use that type of engine to run a generator. And yes, I know the military all use diesel powered generators. But they have the budget and man power to service those things. As pointed out, they're heavier than a gas engine. The method of delivering fuel is waaaaay more complicated than a gas motor and they don't tolerate water in the fuel. That's why there's typically two fuel filters. A simple service on a gas motor is gonna cost you way less as well. I could go on & on about correct fuel rail pressures and injectors and other things, but I hope you get my point.
