I have 3 different mounts now and I have 3 different MRAP bumpers I work with on 939's. I made a new mount that mounts to the rear of the bumper and ties to the frame via 3" angle iron to keep the winch from removing the bumper :). Anyway I have made the boxes on the original extension and it...
I have used as few as 2 Optimas with 900 CCA's each. I now have 6 batteries for my 24V side of the house (4 are tied in at all times and 2 can be switched in if the main bank dies) The backup bank has a charger / maintainer circuit built into the switching unit. I use 4 - 12v XS Power D3400...
Had a torque converter do exactly the same thing. Was so bad it would stall the engine. Had to replace and rebuild the tranny! Felt like a kick in the ass at times when shifting into drive or reverse. It would drive fine at hwy speed since the torque converter would lock up. Would stall the...
Find one as close as you can to home! Even if you pay 2k more you will still be cheaper in the long run especially if you can inspect it first! I have my vehicles flat bedded to me even as close as 100 miles away due to break down issues. I don't want to hurt or kill someone with a braking...
Heat is not an issue with hydraulic like it is with electric / drum brakes. Mile marker sells up to a 3/8 synthetic for your winch for $385

Not without depotting the control unit. I had one out of 760 with a bad solenoid and I scrapped it for parts. Sold the cable, tensioner, fairlead, remote, planetary gear box for more than the winch. I wanted to know the exact potting solution but Warn would not tell me. It is a 2 part...
There are all kinds out there! You have to worry about first layer heat. You also need a traveling abrasion sleeve about 10' long to go over the cable. Do not reuse a fairlead that has any damage from a steel cable. Replace with a hawse fairlead. I put 300 feet of 3/16 amsteel on a 18 k...
If the OLI is bad or removed you can spool out but not in. The winch allows you to spool out on a OLI failure so you can get slack in the winch cable to disconnect. Did you get voltage on one of the leads to the remote? You may have a control pack solenoid failure. You cannot get to the...
Get a horse stall mat from Tractor Supply or any farm and garden that sells them. I took off the d rings and dipped them in plastic dip. This stops their rattle too! I used to just silicon them down on perm installations. I use 500 lb capacity 8" wheels for my construction rentals.Steelex...
You will do more damage to your health and pocket than the price of just buying some good ole diesel fuel. To neutralize Ammonia you need to add acid like HCL around 35% w/v to convert ammonia to a chloride. This is primarily done to extract it or dispose of it. You don't want to burn this...
They come with 1/0 but the length is around 4 feet. I use min 2/0 and 350 amp battery disconnect connectors. If you have long runs (> 15 feet) then use 4/0. Less resistance means less voltage drop which means lower amp pull which effects duty cycles. I hope your winch tested ok! The gen 2...
You would need to cut off the male connector that does NOT have the SQUARE mounting plate on it and wire it into the remote cord. Only saying this since you do not have a remote cord with connector that this would connect with. What I would do before you do all if this is extend the wire on...
