A generator.

Ive installed 2 Kohler generators with 8.1 Turbocharged engines and one with a turbocharged 6 cylinder Detroit Diesel.

These are serious generators!

The Coolant piping / block connection gives it away !

You suck. Lol. I figured the coolant piping would give it up to somebody. Yea, it's a badass generator. Kohler 80eres.

TIM Z, I take it you are either an electrician or you work for Kohler's Field Services?

edit: in my job I get to work with an Eaton rep alot...I'm trying to score a TVS, but sadly it is not in my rep's department.

Out here no one that I'm aware of keeps them on the shelf. I see them for 3-5k on the internet.

Im a pipefitter Local 94. I get to set the units and pipe up the exhaust, and gas line for them . And i did field maintainence on them also.

That would be awesome if the eaton rep could hook you up! Ok, so he cant help with the TVS, how bout a TruTrac???
