A general converter question

I bought a 24 volt to 12 volt converter. It has 24 volt in switched, 24 volt in from battery, (non-switched), and ground in. Output side has 12 volt switched, 12 constant, and ground. My stereo requires switched 12 volt only. Doesn't need constant power. Can I just use the switched leads on the conv...

Re: Donation Thank You

I have enjoyed the benefits of the knowledge and friendship of this board long enough. Like many, I imagine, it never occurred to me how important a donation can be.

Rectifying that now, Vince.

Who else is with me?

Re: Bull Pull Store - what a jerk!

Early on he wanted to know what we wanted to use it for. That's how the whole health thing came out. And I'm bargaining over every dollar because we don't have it. We're on disability, but it's not gonna stop us from achieving our dream. I was just taken aback by his callousness, when a simple, &quo...

Bull Pull Store - what a jerk!

Well, I'm disappointed! Watch out for this seller on Ebay. Bull-Pull-Store. I'd post a link to his storefront, or his webpage, w w w dot BullPullStore dot com, but I'll be dam*ed if I'll help him out. He also has ads on Kijiji, Canada's version of Craigslist. He had some used Michelin tires I was in...

Re: Strange lightbulb-circuit tester?

Oh, gotcha. Got confused because the truck has sealed beams. Couldn't figure out why he'd throw that in?

Strange lightbulb-circuit tester?

Well, I knew that the guy who sold us our truck was a good guy. He tried to take care of everything before shipping it, and besides the rough starting when it's below 0°, we haven't had to touch a thing. So I'm digging around in one of the bags with the snow chains, and wrapped up in rags is this li...

Re: Has anyone imported a vehicle and how was the money tran

This is the company we bought our Tgb111C from a few months ago. Owner is Joacim Halling from Malmo Sweden. He, his son, and his chief mechanic, Goran, are the brunt of the business. They have been selling Tgb's of all types, including the larger Scania's, for MANY years, all over the world. They ha...

Re: Has anyone imported a vehicle and how was the money tran

We just recently bought a Tgb11 from a reputable dealer in Sweden with a long history of honesty and integrity. We did a direct wire transfer from our checking account into his. No problems whatsoever.

Re: LED Headlights

Buy the set on Ebay that comes with the housing. Remove the bulbs and replace your stock headlights, THEN, put your old headlights in the empty housings and mount them as auxiliary lights!
