    12V Winch

    well in theory, one of the military humvee winches should be 'exempt' from that, as they are totally sealed/waterproof

    12V Winch

    Now thats what I would LOVE to do with mine. My biggest fear is that in the Salt Capital, that it would be bad for the winch to live up there all the time.

    electrical hack job and misc electrical

    RE: Re: RE: electrical hack job and misc electrical I moved this out of the PM, because its a very valid question that I feel the answer needs to be displayed here. Yes, the high idle system requires you to 'set' the pedal. If you open your hood, and look at the front of the injection pump...

    electrical hack job and misc electrical

    Re: RE: electrical hack job and misc electrical This is NOT true. The high idle circuit is done right at the injection pump. The switch at the throttle pedal is for the 'kickdown circuit' on the transmission.

    New Deuce Win...

    There is a downfall to this as well. If you leave the dash lights on, they will be on in this position. I have a rule... I always drive with the headlights on.... and always with the dashlights on. This pretty much makes it hard for me to not notice they are still on when I walk away.

    Pics of my rear electric winch install on the 5-ton

    I actually have a 24v winch setup on a hitch mount for the 1009... going to wire it using a slave port on the winch, and a slave cable to connect it to the trucks... already done it once (well kinda) on the 1009... This works good, as I can use it anwhere I can mount a hitch.
