    Pivoting winch head ideas?

    Yup. It is the same winch that almost everyone uses in much much larger trucks and tow trucks. These M18000 winches are very powerful. I had this same winch on my bobbed 5 tons with no issue. Sent from my SM-J727V using Tapatalk

    Yes it is an m715. Removed the pto winch as it was a resto mod. Put it in the five ton forum because this was the highest chance of success since this is where the wreckers are. Sent from my SM-J727V using Tapatalk

    All good comments. This will clear things up. I replaced the factory PTO winch with an M18000 warn. I built it with a 2" reciever in front. Sent from my SM-J727V using Tapatalk

    Pivoting winch head ideas?

    Do you have good reference info/photos? My winch roller has a 4 way roller on it right now but I would never dream of pulling something at 90 degrees of the winch centerline. The links provided show that it would put it out a few inches and have the ability to pivot around to keep the stress...

    Pivoting winch head ideas?

    Yes I've heard. I'm more envisioning something that could be a retrofit, or allow other vehicles to be able to do so. Sent from my SM-J727V using Tapatalk

    Pivoting winch head ideas?

    Anyone have some ideas or know of products that would allow us to use our winches at up to 90 degrees of the truck while being parallel to the road? Think wrecker trucks sidepuller etc. I found this, it's a start...

    M1078 final drive ratio ?

    Ha. Frank8003: classic! And yes sir. When I restored my M715 people kept telling me I put too small of tires on it, being 35" and I designed it to be used let alone abused without breaking so I said 35" is plenty on a GM Dana 60 and 14 bolt at full GVWR thank you very much lol Sent from my...

    M1078 final drive ratio ?

    If you put 16 R20 tires on there you would definitely need to adjust the fuel and boost settings to their maximum. With this it would be tolerable but still about 50% low on power needed. I'm not even sure if those tires will fit on a stock height rig. Does anyone have any pictures of a M1078...
