That was kinda scary Tommy!
I wish I had info on generators to give you a hand. I kinda like the idea of using one, but my truck came with a 17SI that I just rebuilt so I never got to play with a generator.
Fun fact: You can remove a battery from a generator truck and it'll still run! You can't do that with an alternator. Great for battery sharing if you're too cheap to buy two. You'll like the 10SI though. They're troublefree and easy as pie to rebuild for about 16 bucks!
