Jumpstarting a truck with a generator?

If you are talking a recent truck it would have an alternator, not a generator. Recent trucks require approximately 13 volts for the ECM and electronic fuel injectors.

 

he meant like the carry around jumpstart generators that u can use on cars, most are junk or work once.... is there one out there powerful enough to crank over the tractor? used ...tested by someone on here

 

I carry batteries in mine, four of 'em ... replaced as required.

 

There are booster packs out there rated for commercial vehicles. Rescue brand booster packs can be had rated for 800 amp starting current and 1500 amp peak current. That may do the trick, but you will have one shot at it, perhaps two. The trouble with battery packs and booster packs is the reduced battery capacity. A commercial vehicle will drain a booster pack in a heart beat. Carrying two fresh batteries is as viable as trying to get a booster pack with enough power to reliably start a class 8 vehicle in cold weather. Cheaper and only slightly more bulky as well.

 

easiet way as said above is four new ones i replaced all four of mine last year cost was like 400-500 bucks .

But trick I learned in carhauling if you want backup buy 2 of the 12 volt battery jumper packs with the switch to jump to 24 volt.
One charge they will last for months I run into cars that i had to jump to get on and jump to get off used on my truck the one time when the batteries died.

Then jump from the starter much easier then messing with the batteries and all that bs

wow why is dude banned in 6 hours lol

 

Hey, I would like to know the answer to what the question was, :
How do I start my rig with a generator?
I'm stuck with a dead battery right now battery pack gone, but my honda eu2000 is working and with me. How do I accomplish jumping My truck with it?

 

I don't think it will put out enough juice. The Honda has those little ports you can buy the accessory that is used to plug into those and hook up to the batteries but like I said I don't think will put out enough power for a big rig, a little car maybe.

 

About the only option you have with that generator is to buy a smaller 12 volt battery charger and let the truck sit on charge for a couple hours. Generator might be able to handle a 45 amp charge rate at best but I don't think it'd support a start boost.

 

No one is around who will help you out?
