looking for winch advice

[Crumm]

well, i just remembered something, don't think an AIC would work with your manny tranny, only autos if i am correct.

They work fine with manual transmissions.

hey roy, a good item to go along with your winch would be an AIC.

when i am winchin' on a INOP unit, i hit the charge/protect button on the AIC, and it revs up the PSD to 1300 and keeps the batteries charged up.

the winch also seems to pull alittle better to. just a thought.

Hey Stephen, I've had an AIC on mine for a good while and it is great.

Like it ever gets down there.

Hardly got above 15* F today here.

I use mine for jump starting stuff and for running all the lights in the service trailer, etc, etc.

the AIC was the best 150.00 i ever spent on my truck. plus its got pretty lights and when its own it makes the PSD sound like a frickin jet engine

I have an 9000lb warn and it has pulled two trucks out of the mud at the same time. I did have to use dual snatch blocks. (an H2 and a toyota pick up both resting on the rockers) Really it's not all in the size of the winch it's how you have it rigged up. My 9000lb on a single line has no problem pulling out my Superduty when I get it stuck. (8200lbs with no passengers)
The only problem with the big winches is they draw alot of power. My max pull is about 75ft before I start to run low on juice even with the truck on high idle.
