Mine was more of a knock. My ball joint in the video was loose. Tightened it up and it fixed a lot of it. I do have something going on w my front axel tho. Might not be seated well. Not sure if it’s related to the kit or not since I don’t use the 4x4 very often. I also had tie rods go out that were making noises too. Hopefully u can fix yours. 🤘🏻

I have a 4 ton ac unit w a heat pump. I love that generator, but it doesn’t have enough nuts to power up the thermostat unfortunately. Other than that, it’s excelled at everything else I’ve used it for.

3 oil changes could definitely be considered overly cautious. I started this from when I bought my Predator generator. I looked up a break in cycle online and found this to benefit my generator the most. My mower had a break In cycle in the manual also that had me change the oil after an initial run. all of the brand new motors Ive changed the oil in have had some type of metal flake in the oil that was clearly visible. It’s an extra step, but if it’ll prolong the life of the engine then I’m in for an extra oil change or two.

@@KoreyB03 makes sense and thanks for the quick feedback!

Whoever raised you failed.

That sucks. Contact Amazon. Miy initial generator was messed up pretty bad also. Sent pics of the box and generator and they sent me a brand new one free. Give it a shot.

That's unfortunate. It happens to even some of the best products on earth. I've had the same one in this video for 4yrs. LOVE IT.

I mean I guess u don’t have to, but the initial run really works a lot of metal shavings loose and it’s not great for the engine. It’s good practice in my opinion.

Yessir. The housing sheared the harness tho so it had no power to anything. It would start tho. Gave it to a buddy and he spent some time and got all the wires fixed and now has power for his house in an emergency. 💪🏻

I personally shut the gas off and run it down a little. Is it bad? Maybe, maybe not. I know as soon as it starts pulsing because it’s running low I shut it off. I don’t wanna run the lines completely dry and get air in them. Is it the correct thing to do? I dont know. It hasn’t had a negative impact on my generator so far doing it that way.

@@KoreyB03 okay because when i start hearing it pulsing im thinking oh god that cant be healthy lol so once it does that i shut it off as well

@@KoreyB03thankyou by the way i appreciate the feed back!

@@evanproulx158yessir!! Not a problem man!

@@GMoney000 sure will. I have that exact welder.

@@georgiabooi4512 if it ran out of gas there might be air in the fuel lines. Try messing w them and seeing if u can get fuel through them. That’s really the only thing I can think of. Can possibly try some starter fluid at the intake and see if that works. If it does, then you’re not getting fuel. Also if it ran all night make sure to check the air filter also. Hopefully that helps.

I love it. I wish I’d have bought it first. My predator is awesome, but this one is bigger and exactly what I was looking for. Runs the 4ton ac and wants more. I’ve run some big welders for hours with it and had zero problems. It saved the day at one of my kids bday parties. Power went out in August here in Texas and this thing ran the kitchen/living room/ac and 2 inflatable water slide bounce houses. I’d absolutely recommend it.

Hahaha thanks man. Thumb is good. Still have a nice little section of purple under the nail. 😂 🍻

Manual says 5w30 synthetic is safe to use for all temperature ranges. Also 10w30 is safe from 10degrees and up. So, unless you live somewhere where it gets crazy cold then either one of those is good to use. I use the synthetic in my mower so that’s what I use for my generator. This one takes just over 1qt. Manual says 1.18qt

U got it. Glad it helps.

Have you installed the micro air yet, how's it working out?

@@DONALD1951 I deeply regret that I wasted so much of your time with wasted talk somewhere inside this 7 minute and 47 second video. I hope u can find it in your heart to forgive me…….. 😐

2 Pneumatic wheels would be just fine. That’s just my opinion tho.

Ohhh hell yea, that thing will run that EASY! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

So you don’t think I need a soft start?

@@josegarza8362 I personally think soft starts should be on all ac u it’s just to help preserve the life of them. Do u need it for the generator to run the ac, no, but is it a good idea to put one on, yes. Just my personal opinion. 🤘🏻🍻

@@KoreyB03thanks

😂😂😂

I live out in the county and the roads are garbage. I could tell a difference immediately. The lift is great, but To be honest w u, if I were to doit over again I’d save up the extra cash and go with the coil overs Just to make it that much better.

@@jochetaman23 I mean, I’ve done some pretty stupid shit, but I didn’t fuel it while it was running because it ran out of gas and cut off before I could do that. Maybe next time? 🤘🏻

Hahahahaha I was happy to see you glad it worked, blessings to the family and thanks for the vid !

@@jochetaman23hahaha, yessir. 🍻

A soft start is absolutely on the list of things to install. It would make the ac’s life so much easier. I don’t run it unless I need to. Usually when the power goes off I can wait it out without having to run it off the generator. BUT, in the middle of Texas summer if it’s off for more than an hour we have to run it. I do my best to try and only run the ac so it stresses the generator and any other circuits I’m running as little as possible on start up.

right on!!

I’ll have to do the math so I don’t lie to u. I know the initial startup on the ac is enough to slightly dim the lights on the normal service

More oil changes never hurt an engine. There is debris from the factory. I personally plan to add oil and then change the oil before I even start it to get out any debris possible before running it. Bearings and cylinder walls hate debris. Then I will probably run it 5 mins and change the oil again. And then do the break in like this guy. I mean, it's about a quart of oil and such an easy oil change process, why would you be so cheap and lazy not to do it?

@@JetFire9 Has nothing to do with being cheap or lazy. I followed the instructions, did as Westinghouse suggested and my engine is fine. The debris help break the motor in. Why do you think it's called a break in?

@@JetFire9We don’t know what kind of oil is in new Chinese built engines. Five minute run then drain is a good idea. Some of the Chinese oil smells like fish.

Not a problem! I don’t have a soft start, but I do plan on getting one.

@@KoreyB03 have you been running it much lately?

@@ryanbennett7106​​⁠no sir. I haven’t needed to run the ac w it for almost 8 months or so. Runs it no problem. The initial start up is definitely noticeable, but after that it’s light work for the generator. A soft start would be super beneficial.

@@KoreyB03 yessir i really appreciate it im on the fence of trying to hunt down a deal or just buying new they are 1090$ to the door on Amazon definitely looking worth it

@@ryanbennett7106 that’s exactly how I got mine. The first one was beat up pretty bad. Took them a week or so to get me another one. After that it was all good. Definitely worth it I believe.

I bought mine through Menards. Got a Menards rebate. $300? Picked it up at the store.

I got this Brute for free and it was like that when I got it. There were a couple small spots in the back rack cut too. Who knows.

@@KoreyB03 I was working on a Brute with the same cut and surprised to see another one like it online. I assumed they did it for the plastic storage box, but yours didn't have that. take care!

Haha, called them up and gave’em the ol what for and they sent me a new one. 🍻🍻

🍻

Yessir, I have a 4 ton ac. It runs that, along w my fridge, kitchen plugs, and living room. I have to run an extension cord from one of the 110 outlets on it I to the house to the microwave Inorder to run it. Microwave always trips the breaker if I try to run the circuit it’s on. That’s all I’ve really ever put on it at one time. I’m sure it’s got more to go, but I just haven’t had any reason to run more than that at one time. As an emergency generator I’d recommend it every single time. It’s done amazing for me.

@@KoreyB03 Great. I just ordered the new 14500 trifuel Westinghouse. I installed a microair easy start and took my 5 ton in rush starting amps from 148 to 36! I immediately bought another for other 1.5 ton I have. I think I will be able to run everything but the dryer and oven. Was going to get the bigger twin cylinder but it looks like it would be overkill. I do like the pressurized oil pump, cooler and oil filer on that though but just isn't necessary for passing storms.

To be completely honest w u, I’d have to do some calling around myself. Could be a lot of things. I wish I was more help.

@@KoreyB03 Thanks for responding.

Check the choke.

@@johnc.9133 Got it fixed...as the gas I left in it way to long.

No problem man! Glad to help any way I can. 🍻

33”. 285/70/17 Kenda Klever RT. They rub in the front slightly at full lock, but not bad enough that I wouldn’t do the lift or buy those tires again.

So the 33s rub a little bit? That what i heard im not sure if i should go with the 3.5 or 5 lift ​@@KoreyB03
