What I am refering to is a full time electric motor to power the truck with an onboard charging system powered by a smaller diesel. The only thing the diesel would do is run the generator to keep the batteries up. The electric motor would be attached to a manual transmission through an adaptor on the bellhousing. It would sit very low in the engine compartment allowing room above for the smaller engine and generator. It would take some fabrication to accomplish it.

From your previous post: I don't think you can run anything off of the PTO at the same time the truck is moving.

I wish I could find the link for the guys who were converting the 914s. They got remarkable performance from just 15 horsepower. Tons of instant torque. The same guy built an electric dragster that was on tv about a year ago. Of course there system didn't have the on board generator, it just plugged into a charger at home.
