Hi. I have recently ordered an new 2017 F-350 powerstroke 4x4 long bed and am very excited for when if comes in next month. I ordered it with the PTO option with hopes to add a 10k or more generator ran from the PTO. I do know it is possible but I do still have some questions.

1.) Has anyone here done this?

2.) What manufacture do you recommend?

3.) How does the PTO engage?

4.) How does the "Live Drive PTO" work. Can the generator be used while driving?

5.) Does the PTO output maintain a certain rotation speed while the RPMs change during driving.

6.) If the generator requires a higher idle (say 1200 RPMs) how could this be achieved? Is there some stock way that can increase the RPM's through the electronics of the truck?


If you know about this or have any pointer for me I would be extremely grateful.
