MQ Mobile Diesel Generator
600 kVA MQ Mobile Diesel Generator with 20830 hours. Also, this prime rated MQ comes sitting on a dual axle trailer. S/N: 3841524, Model: DCA-600SSV, Engine: Volvo Penta TAD1642GE
1000 gallon Fuel Tank
The GVWR Plate for this unit show 50,000lbs, This trailer is 34’6’‘L x 8’6’‘W x 12’5’'H.
The generator has been load bank tested to verify that the generator is properly functioning and produces the appropriate power when it is on load.
It’s been recently load tested, so the generator itself is in good working order and the controls are functioning properly. Hours of use on the diesel are immaterial, you could rebuild that Volvo for 15k. Besides it’s prime mover rated meaning it’s meant for a continuous duty cycle. If I was in the market this would be a good deal.
Shit, if you’ve got the money it would probably be worth it to purchase do a rehab and resell it. Those things go quick up here! Maybe post it in the Anchorage CL? You might get some hits if you did that
Pretty simple actually. A tractor trailer covers at least 1.2million miles in 20,000 hours of highway driving. Highway miles being the least stressful on an engine. Best case scenario there’s the equivalent of 1.2 million miles on that motor.
Its relative because semi wear is measured in miles whereas gennys in hours, and we know that 1.2m miles on a diesel engine in a semi is getting up there

Well it’s running in a different application, from my understanding you need the circumference of the object spinning X RPM to get a average mph… for all we know that RPM could be at 20 MPH, but if you know the circumference of the object/gears being spun than I’m all ears.
I haven’t driven a 18 wheeler before but I think we all know it drives WELL over 1800 rpm.
Poor Rudolf Diesel! The German gas engine mafia killed him after he displayed his engine running on peanut oil at the Paris world fair. I’ve seen dozers and excavators with 40k+ hours running strong
Also it’s dependant on what it’s spinning not just the gears size itself. I’m confident the diameter of a trucks tires are much larger than the gears running it. - I think your estimate could be a 2x-4x multiple of what it actually is.
He is! Your calculation is solely based on my million mile motor statement. Then u configured your formula. That gen could have another 20k left in it if it was well maintained.
My statement is based on the fact that the majority of Diesel engines, be that tractor trailer or heavy equipment, get rebuilt around where the generator in question is.
Converting hours to miles just makes it easier to understand for some people.
Are there trucks and pieces of heavy equipment that run 40,000 hours without a rebuild? I’m sure there are, but those are certainly the exception and not the rule.
So your an engineer who builds and repairs truck engines and generators?
Feel free to attack the one part of my argument I admitted fault too thats okay because my argument is still valid with or without the statement… I’m still curious what size is the circumference of the gear for you to “simply” determine it was equivalent to running @ 60mph?
It’s sweet spot is not the average either. Not including acceleration or elevation
