You may want to check to see how the BATT. switch functions. The cut off switch on the MOG disconnects the ground. If your using chassis ground for the winch all the current goes through the switch. It may not be designed to take the winch current load. I installed a battery cut off switch from...
My first gut feel is voltage spikes. Gimpyrobb mentioned vibration. Definitely going to check that. I'm either burning out or breaking the filament, loosing continuity. Could be I just got a pair of cheap poor quality headlights. But Id hate to install a new set and have them blow again...

F.Y.I. Ken called to tell me he was disappointed I didn't comment on his ladder.:grin:
Not knowing what kind of condition I'll be in (no not drunk) I'm reluctant to volunteer. How ever if I got a "Hey You" I'd be honored to do what I can to contribute! I'm going to keep my eyes open to do what ever I can.
Obviously IP won the contract by indicating more money going back to the government than GL. To do this they either need to get more money for the vehicles or lowering their margin or both. I doubt a better operating efficiency would be enough to win the contract. I often get asked "where do you...
