Like a few things the US does, but not all of course, what they do is a little better in this case. Using a higher voltage in more electrically demanding situations keeps the current down and therefore wire size can be less, motor heat is lower, all of it. A load at 24V will pull half the current as the same load at 12V. Metric system is another example, they use units based off of everything divisible by 10, and we use units based off of length of the kings foot. Ugh.Do you have any idea what the thinking is behind all that?
Or maybe it's all just random (like right-hand drive in UK, and left-hand drive everywhere else; or at least I think that's random).

It's funny to picture and read about, but I'm guessing you weren't laughing a whole lot during this twilight episode. opcorn:I installed a block heater and changed the coolant on my M923A1. I managed to break the petcock on the radiator and strip 2 sides of the nut that holds it there too. I grabbed a kiddie pool and several more 5 gallon buckets and just unhooked the radiator hose. Then I burned my last available daylight trying to find one of the 6 bolts from the water inspection plate. I had knocked it off the tire and stepped on it at some point... in the sand and leaves. I had to get the shop vac to blow all the debris away before I could find it. I wont get to test the heater out until tomorrow now.
I used to have a magnetic parts holder in my truck. When I installed locking door handles, the screws that came with it were non magnetic stainless steel. When I lost one of them out of the tray, I might have run the tray over with the truck out of spite. Now it came back to bite me, lesson learned. Luckily HF gives them away for free all the time.It's funny to picture and read about, but I'm guessing you weren't laughing a whole lot during this twilight episode. opcorn:
It all looks really good, and I especially like the cargo lights; sweet.
It looks like a new tire wouldn't hurt it altogether either.Fabbed up new hitch for ten ton trailer and brought her a 100 miles home for new decking etc oh and a jeep that needs a motorView attachment 580378
