    24v to 12v converter?

    Thats whats great about mil-surp, It was only a couple hundred when they are usually 600. The batt eq was even cheaper at about $100.

    24v to 12v converter?

    I've helped a member here install one of those, they are very nice, but not a dc-dc converter. I recommend using a 24-12v dc converter to hook up the 12v side(or a battery equalizer).

    Intermittent coolant leak?

    You have to BE CAREFUL to do this, but Try opening the radiator cap after driving it and let it sit overnight. See if it leaks then.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    I told Rusty to hot glue the styro in place and tell folks that is his crumple zone, so that their car didn't turn into his crumple zone. He failed to see the humor...

    Intermittent coolant leak?

    Without knowing the size of the leak, I would say yes, but only you can judge how bad it truly is. I would plan on the motor needing work very soon and drive it cautiously till you figure it out.

    24v to 12v converter?

    I would stay an amp or two below its rated output. If you are using delicate electronics with the converter, it might be time to look at "good" ones.

    Intermittent coolant leak?

    Not always, some of the gaskets have weep lines designed to leak.

    Do not follow this advice, it will ruin your batteries!

    Cooling System Sediment: Stop-leak or something else?

    You have to consider the micron rating of the filter. I would expect sediment at like 100micron or more.

    Cooling System Sediment: Stop-leak or something else?

    I wouldn't sweat it much every one thats put a coolant filter on and cut it open has had the same crud. It should diminish as time goes on. Just keep an eye on it.

    24v to 12v converter?

    Just so its been stated, I believe the battery equalizer to be a better option(thats what I am currently using. 21100E00-100A I believe).

    24v to 12v converter?

    Your other options are a battery equalizer or a dc-dc converter. I have a Newmar 32-12-35a (dc-dc conterter) that will convert 24v to 12v and if I choose, it has an option to maintain a 12v battery. http://www.newmarpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Manual-DC-Converter-Std.pdf
