    24V to 12V converter

    The input on the pulsetech is 12V, 24V+ and 24V-. The output is 12V (4 lines) and 24v (8 lines). Is this a step down or to obtain 12V output you also need 12V input? I am a bit confused. Can you please clarify. If this is a step down and I don't need 12V input to get 12V output that would be...

    Depends what you get. I got the Behr Marquee Exterior paint and it was about $43. I hope to stop at HD and see if I can still use the $10 coupons, would be nice. If not, I will get a few gallons and stock on them.

    Just got back from HD and they had no issues mixing a batch of FS 37030 Black, after I provided the guy with the instructions to go in the Competitor Color Look-up and under The Manufacturer to select Federal Standard and then enter the 5 digit code. I can tell that he was a bit puzzled that he...

    This site is like CRACK! So, I bought a 5 ton....

    Wahahahaha, I like the thread subject. I reckon you have to have more than one to be addicted, so far I am doing good. Although I almost got a military wheeled excavator JD 690D this morning. That would have caused a divorce.
