Rear winch has a air operated tensioner.

I guess I'll have to unwind to the last 3-4 wraps and try again. It wasn't real perfect to begin with when I got the truck. Thanks. I have one kink from what I unwound. I'll grease everything up before I start winding.

Yep.

Great write up Clarke, But the TM's call for 450-500 ft lbs for the lug nuts.

Nice job on everything! This thread gives me ideas.

I spent hours pulling quite a bit of the cable off my rear winch and winding it back on, The level winder moves freely, but it still bunches up the cable and I have to manually move the level winder. Any tips on how to get it to wind the way it should? I had the tensioner on when winding. On the...

I'm so glad I had this vehicle towed, but frankly surprised the wheel didn't come off during the tow. I went out today to rotate the rim so the CTIS airline would connect, 3/4 of the lugnuts were handtight! I thought deuce tires were heavy! Soldier B is out of commission so I had to reposition...

Front and rear winch hooks. Maybe they were both replaced with what was available?

Gotta love this site, learn something new everyday. I could swear I've seen them on many winch trucks on GL. What would be the reason for not including them on the winch hooks?

Both the hooks on my winches have a provision for the safety catch. They aren't standard with the safety catch?

Got it, if the threaded bolt is further away from the drum its unlocked. Got the clutch lever out, but still the winch control is stuck on wind.

Guilty as charged. Thanks Doghead.

That's what I call stuck!

Thanks everyone.

Both the winch hooks on my wrecker are missing the safety latches, what are they actually called and where can I get them? TIA

I don't believe GL does anything to the vehicles other than advertise and sell them as they are given them.

Here's my dilemma, After reading the -10 I'm unclear on how to proceed. I don't want to bend or break anything. 1. Winch control lever is pulled back to the wind position, PTO engage lever is not engaged, can't move the winch control forward to neutral with engine off or on. 2. Clutch lever is...

Don't you love those easy fixes?

Look what I found when I finally got around to airing up all my tires.... Glad I had this truck towed home. In one picture you can see a properly mounted rim with the CTIS hose attached. In one picture you can see clearly the turrent is to the left of the CTIS valve, hose was just ziptied cause...

Yeah that's the worst part of buying from Camp Ripley. They give you 10 business days, but John is only there maybe two of those days, gets the sweat going. I had to have my wrecker towed out, it could've been driven out if I could've gotten in there on a Monday. Then again, I'm kinda glad I had...
