24 i see your point about wiring into the pos but since i'm only using it for security i aint redoing it

 

Did you poop?

 

Don't like cables

 

LOL !!

 

I don't think so. Let me check

 

If you are ok with it then no need

 

better to have pooped than been pooped on! i am pooped though nc and back in a day and brought back a whole truck full of furniture that we now have to figure out where to put time for bed

 

Nope I'm good.... Continue on

 

Only Andy would mention that

ROTFLMAO !!!

 

Why ?? , is it because of crash damage or fire damage limiting movement of the cable

 

Ok I'm out.. Stay well people.
Everyone check their underwear and report to Andy.
Later

 

Yes

 

Curious why would the voltage make a difference? I do respect your opinion Mike, a lot. But am wondering why the difference in Voltage would make difference. And am sure you have a valid reason just trying to figure out why in my mind. Of course yours is a LOT more in tune...

 

Well working around the poop thing LOL I think I understand why now...

 

With equipment, you're shutting off the fuel to kill it, not an electric ignition. Of course now there's all kind of wild shit on a diesel motor with solenoids and such that you could possibly have a negative short that would allow it to keep running but it probably hasn't been a problem so why change it. When I started running equipment we still had a few pony motor starters on dozers and CAT 12 graders were all mechanical except for the starter, charging system and lights. So, again, the shut-off was all mechanical. CAT, kamatsu, John Deere, Case and the others aren't going to change anything old and reliable till they have to, including negative shut-off switches.

 

G'nite Mike !!

 

I'm paraphrasing here but a guy once told me most of what Martin said but also it had something to do with voltage spikes and arcing. Now he might have been full of it but with my background understood his explanation. 24 volts gives a much bigger arc per say in a heavy circuit. However, Martin basically said if it's not broke,don't fix it. If you want a visual look up a Jacob's ladder on you tube.
I know it's way extream but when you throw a switch this happens.
Toyota runs negative switched systems and when something goes wrong on the neg side things stay on.
You really need to disconnect the battery on anything elect esp. on a neg run systems as feedback can be dangerous. We have had reports of guys doing timing chains on the cars and not doing it and since they disconnect grounds you know ground seeks ground. It finds ground through the starter relay and spins the engine over. Fingers have been injured.
So no power no workie no matter what. That's why they cut POS in race cars ,no power inside the car except the battery.

 

Good morning kids,more wood splitting today,gonna have some good campfires for awhile. Have a great Sunday.

 

Clean...

Good Morning Folks! The Coffee tastes extra good this morning. Cool Temps! Had my spare tire mounted this week and I added some frame protection to hopefully prevent the sidewall gouges from the frame. After the Coffee I'm going to crank up the spare into its location. Everyone enjoy the Day!

P/S - Andy my Filters Are Clean!
