  1. Not a problem,Until he staggers off the sidewalk and into the front of a moving car. I got one of thees tickets when I was young.But I think it was more about what I said to the cop before he gave the ticket. Still gave a free ride home.
  2. One of the tech's at work brought in a washer and dryer. Hooked into the 20 tonne test weight with the 18 ton spreader and 18 ton boom. With the hydraulic working at the equivalent of 45 tonne and 1.5 feet per second.They where only 3" high after. Realy shows you that their is not much to a washer and dryer.
  3. The ex car guy's at work said make sure your hi and lo work too.If not you can get a ticket for that.
  4. Tried use window de-froster element and a piece of mechanics wire.In the dry shop it drew 3 amps and burnt to the touch. Out in the rain it went up to 5 amps and started glowing. If I have time tonight I'll try add a 1 amp resistor.
  5. My truck has this,but take along time to set off the warning chime and pops up on the display. Tried it when I first got the truck.Think it took 7 to 10 minutes before it chimed.
  6. I would say that the amperage would be so low not to do any damage.That it wont be feasible with the eyelets being open to all elements.
  7. I stand corrected.Always thought it was the same for head lights as for brake lights.
  8. Years ago got pulled over for licence plate lights.Went around the back of the truck,Kick the bumper,Lights came on. Cop said have a nice day.
  9. One thing though Wayne. Traffic act,If it's there it must work. All cars I've seen have two.
  10. My auto start also shuts the truck down after ten minutes and it's after market. It's the anti theft system on the truck that shuts it down.
  11. I don't change over my water conditioner and use a car wash soap, No spots.
  12. Five minutes of idling should regenerate a good battery after starting. It's not like the alternator is trickle charging the battery. Mike. Even if the alternator is not working properly,Your battery is done from the excesses drain.The damage is all ready done.
  13. Two new batteries as soon as I got home.
  14. Your battery is done.Get a new one today or you'll be stranded. Odd that your chevy doesn't have a block heater.Must be a US truck.
  15. The only thing the switch can do is pop the diode if you turn the switch off. If there is some thing wrong with your battery and pop the alternator has nothing to do with the switch.
  16. Mark,Use the two with a battery switch.Then run the riggers on the second battery and the boat off the main cranking. When your done with fishing.Start the engine with the main cranking then switch to the second to re-charge with engine. Then when you get home switch too both for the maintenance charge. This will help prolong the life of the batteries and your alternator.
  17. By any chance are you a sales man.Because they will say anything to make a deal.So how are your question being answered first hand. Myself would take the word of a product user or a tech over the word of a salesman.
  18. Trade show are not what they use to be. With computerized billing and inventory it's harder too push product out the back door. Their is also a very high over head at shows now also. Alot of vendors need to higher temp sales staff for the show also longer travel or stay in motels. This is all monies that the vendors has to recover. 30 years ago a trade show was a smorgasbord of deals,Not so much now.
  19. Don't know why the wind chill has anything to do with it. How many nudist weather forecaster do you see in the WINTER. :rofl2:
  20. Do love The NRA.Besides religous groups,There one of the few groups that get there asses kissed by the government.
  21. Then gift it too anyone or sell to a so-called collector.
  22. Just make sure you ask for S.S cable. S.S wire is very expensive and it would't work very well for your use.
  23. Do not hook up 12v too a 24v series battery.This is detrimental on the batteries.When hook up to a single 12v in 24v the single battery is only being use. The other battery doesn't push amperage into the battery being used for 12v.So now you have two different amperage's in the batteries.Then you turm on the trolling motor, Increasing the amperage draw from the 12v hooked up battery.More draw the hotter the battery gets causing damage. In a multiple battery hook, Your batteries are only as strong as the weakest one. You must use a 24 to 12v inverter.
  24. Happy New Year to you Mr.Thorpe. May your camel not be riden with fleas and spits into the wind.
  25. YEAH,YEAH,YEAH. Your OLD!!
