i agree you shouldnt be running any winch cable up against rocks any any cable can fail from that :!:the question you need to ask yourself is what do you want the cable to do when it breaks .wire =dangerous whip action in a break.synthetic= no whip .if you are winching your jeep up a rock face...

there are so many different factors when comparing a lit to a pull lifts involve winds and drafts and other variables that have to be acounted for pulls are ussually a little less complicated as it is more a figure of resistance vs pull needed

man that cable looks better than mine are you saying i should change mine out:roll:

hmm i dont think the safey figure is the same for lifting as it is for pulling .if it were the deuce winch would only be rated at 5000 since the 1/2 inch cable isnt rated anyhigher than that for lifting and you would have to use two snatch blocks minium to pull out a deuce that is only stuck...

you have to make sure you are comparing the same thing when looking at ratings breaking minimum breaking strength is way different from safe working load and different from safe lifting load.

does anyone know if the tms list the specs for the stock deuce winch cable or just list a part number for it.it would be nice if it did so you could compare apples to apples when looking for a new cable :roll:it seems most 4wheelers are going to synthetic cable but i havent seen any listed that...

anytime you are winching with a deuce you should have the hood open and a blanket acroos the cable to slow it down if it did break i have snapped several cables no damage to humans or equiptment this is where the safety factor comes in.if done correctly even a crappy cable will not hurt you or...

not argueing it was just a saying used in the auto industry all cars run on used parts:roll:i would rather hear all the input good and bad before making up ones mind on what cable to use it is a serious matter.

i hear that i am putting a new one on mine i'm just waiting on them to get back to me on the shipping.you always have to leave a safety factor when winching .you should never be using it to its rating

every cable is used once you use it.and all trucks run on used parts:roll:

i wouldnt want to run a bigger diameter cable in there anyway since you wouldnt be able to put as much on there i find i need most of it more often than not

right and safe rating is different for pulling vs lifting pulling is like 4 to 1 lifting is like 5 to 1 or more

we need a table of capacity for the different type of cables .does anyone know how much a stock cable with the chain and end weighs? i'm just waiting for them to get back to me on shipping cost so i can order mine:roll:

no just wondered about it a cable thats been used out of the weather and at 1/10 its capacity for a year or two and has twice the rating of the cable used on the deuce:?:plus they are oiled and maintained better than anyother cable i know of .i agree about using new cable but if you can get...

how about getting used elevator cable they have to change it after x amount of hours and its ussually like 500ft or more i have heard of some places letting it go for scrape price.i thought it is the best grade cable you can get same as lifting cable used on cranes .has anyone used it and how...
