Actually you have 240 out there. This is what power company delivers in electricity in this country for a single phase circuit.. No more no less = 120/240v. Other countries can vary a little and allot..
However, 120/240 can loose a little under load...around 5% or so.

So if you purchase something that requires 240v your good...that's what you have. In case you were unaware.

Just went out and replaced the T handle on my shell (old one froze and cracked). The temp is trying to tell me it's 36 degrees outside.... no way. Wind chill has to be in the teens. My damn fingers can barely type... even my phone is not liking the cold fingers.

Yea, the phone tells me , - "temp too low to function" just before shutting down. It was in the 20's when that occurred...last month. I kinda had to agree with it lol.

I had a weird day today. A friend of a friend called me and said he knew I was interested in his Ford Edge. I sort of explained that I said he was probably the cleanest 08 I'd seen around. That was the extent of the conversation a few weeks ago.

Anyways, he said he was going to sell it and he wanted to know if I might be interested. Yeah, I've thought about buying one, but never pulled the trigger on any. Well, today I did. I couldn't pass this up. AWD, SEL, 3.5(NA). I gave him $1500. It even came with a new Python autostart system.

Really? Did it say that? Hell, we use ours up here at -30 without problems. Did you buy a Texas phone by mistake? You know everything shuts down there when it gets to 20° or less. Maybe your phone will get up and go on a Cancun vacation.

I know right, I've never seen that before either. It sure did, - was sitting on the tailgate for 3 or 4 hours. Might of had a little wind going on as well.

EDIT: I guess it has a temperature sensor. I don't usually take out of my pocket unless I'm rolling around on the ground.

Besides the price and how clean it was, the hitch actually sold me on it. I can pull my 4 wheeler and its trailer just about anywhere, and no weight.

Today I'm going to pop out and throw out the CD6 radio head, and replace it with the factory navi-unit I have on my shelf. Right there, I added 50 to the price. LOL.
