Ford Performance Super Duty Winch Install

[@andyems10]

Finally got my winch installed today. Couldn’t have done it without your video. Thanks for taking the time for videoing and posting it!

[@tcr2237]

Sweet. Your welcome. Glad I could help out a bit. Darn winch is a beast. Cheers!

[@shadow.overland]

Been waiting on this video since the unboxing. I got the instructions as well and was impressed. Didn't expect them to be very clear. Your video filled in a few questions I had. Thanks much! Probably won't be getting to my install until the first week of Feb. Looking forward to the Carli install. I'm eyeing up the PinTop system for my 2021 Tremor.

[@tcr2237]

Ya, it’s a fun install. Can’t go wrong with a Carli…. When ever it gets here!

[@metallicobject1831]

Thanks for the video. You are the first one to do an install video for this winch as far as I can tell and I have been waiting for one. The wiring tips were particularly helpful. 👍

[@tcr2237]

Thanks, appreciate the feed back.

[@wdwilson397]

Installing a winch on 12th gen trucks with the grill and hood connected is the cleanest and easiest install of all...looks factory and needs just a mounting plate bolted with tow hook bolts keeping hooks in place. Yours is looking very nice, thanks.

[@kylesmith5347]

Thank You for your video and taking the time to give us the best information to help with our DIY installation, should we choose to. Great information, short to the point and not filled with give aways or promotions, Thanks again.

[@tcr2237]

You are welcome. Appreciate you watching and feedback. Just a hobby of mine and it great to know it may be of use. Cheers!

[@Kybossls]

Ordered a new 350 not 4x4, in December, build date is February 1, today I tried to add this to the build and they said no. But they didn’t say that it is a dealership installed item. This winch looks like a good insurance foe non 4 wheel drive. I’ll order this and install myself, thanks for the video.

[@tcr2237]

Cool deal man. Just make sure the frame cross member has the bolt holes for the winch bracket. Not sure if 2WD trucks have it. It’s a great back up for a 2WD for sure. Keep me posted! Cheers

[@chrisgroves9829]

Nice job boys,thanks for sharing!

[@missgirlworld]

Nice job. Looking good brother 👌

[@tcr2237]

Thanks 👍

[@Crumb_Trails]

Another great video. I've been shutting away from this For winch. There was either a video or an article from someone that needed to repair or replace something on the winch and Warn couldn't help because it was a ford thing and ford couldn't help because it was a warn thing. I wonder if a warn zeon platinum 12k would fit in there on that bracket.

[@tcr2237]

Interesting… I have had some bad experience with dealer service departments as well. I’m sure that is where the issue was. Ford dealers seem to deny before they approve anything these days. not sure if it would fit. The brackets it comes with and how it mounts is very custom and tight fitting.

[@ssgviper7147]

Good job 👍

Could you provide that link for the manual? Thank you. Great video.

Great video, thanks for filming. What wheels and offset are you running? They look really great.

[@tcr2237]

Ya buddy. Cheers. Running 18x9 +18 offset MR701 Methods.

[@Wrangler98]

Good video buddy. Just a suggestion, superduties especially diesels are supposed to be lifted by the radius arms, keeps your lift centered and distributes load equally

[@tcr2237]

Yup, thanks, i am doing that from here on out.

[@dennylemon837]

Great video! Question...where did you end up routing the engine block heater cable?

[@tcr2237]

Thanks buddy. Ya…. About that… still have it right above the winch. Have not re-located it. Will keep ya posted. As of now, I can route it under the hood, or in the grill. Cons: under hood requires opening it every time and in the grill, you see it… I keep my truck in my shop so I don’t need it right now.

[@bigsky5248]

Do they have that will fit on a 17 F350? Haven't found one yet...

[@tcr2237]

Not that I know of. I believe the reason it does not “fit” is because the frame was not prepped for the mounting holes. They did that (holes) on the mid model refresh frame. That’s my guess. Other then the frame missing the mounting bracket holes, I bet it would fit like a glove..

[@grayghost1423]

Good job. Did you level your truck?

[@tcr2237]

Thanks. Not yet, still waiting on parts from Carli.

[@soloban81]

Awesome! What’s the part # for the kit and cost??

[@soloban81]

Nevermind…. Found it…. $3K 😳

[@tcr2237]

Haha, ya, not cheap… you can find them for less if you search consistently. Another tuber said he saw them for $2300. I found one being sold but a dealer for $2700.

[@dundonrl]

Need more protection from deer strikes for me, which is why my 22 F-250 Tremor will be getting an aftermarket bumper (that a winch will fit inside).

[@tcr2237]

I hear ya, I could use one myself but I just hate the weight it adds and can’t find one that I like… which bumper you looking at?

[@hay829]

@@tcr2237 thank you, I did as well I just wanted to make sure I get the exact one that looks exactly like the factory because I’ve seen other models and it confused me I have a 2022 king ranch tremor. Did you need to upgrade your alternator ?

[@tcr2237]

@@hay829 no prob man! I didn’t. I have a diesel and it comes with the largest alt. And two batts. They say you need two batts is you have a gasser. I have used it to pull construction equipment out of the mud, my truck stuck in a snow bank and a tractor (semi) out of the mud. Semi has no trailer obviously!!!

Ya, part number is M-1821-SD. Check out Levittownfordparts.com. Save $800 on the winch and tells you what it fits and what options you may need in addition to the winch/bracket combo.

[@smileybgh813]

@@tcr2237 awesome! Thanks for the quick response

[@charlesthomas8590]

what is the time frame for installing winch

[@tcr2237]

Took me about 6 or so hours if I remember. I was also filming too. Cheer

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Mean looking install. I wonder if any other company makes a winch that will fit in this spot. 2800 from ford is STEEP

[@tcr2237]

Thanks. Ya, not cheap. Of course I found the winch and mount combo for $2,200 after I installed it! Check around and see what deals you may find. The brackets it comes with to mount are custom but I’m sure the winch mounting points are the same. Would need to make sure all the other size specs would be similar too. It’s a darn tight fit… thanks for posting.

[@MissSaraBurgin]

I need a Folding license plate bracket I have same truck. Any advice?

[@tcr2237]

I hear ya, don’t know of a flooding one but ford sells a relocate bracket. Hope this link helps. Cheers! www.levittownfordparts.com/sku-ymm/2022-ford-super-duty/LC3Z-17A385-BA.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImpC4zOif9QIVR7KGCh0bnwvEEAQYASABEgLp-fD_BwE

[@dentalnovember]

Ford states this only will fit 2020 and up. Is the 2019 that much different? Ford also states this only can be had with 7.3 and 6.7 not 6.2. I would love to install this on a 2019 CCLB 6.2 with dual batteries, 240amp alt. and snow plow prep. Any thoughts?

[@tcr2237]

Thanks for commenting. My thoughts (not fact) are that the cross member frame that hosts the brackets for the winch are not pre punched and/or drilled. Also, oil/trans coolers may be in the way. Hard to say without comparing them side by side. Hope this help Luke. Cheers

[@KennethLeake]

I looked at my 2019 KR with 6.7 and can confirm the cross member is not drilled and the trans cooler is in the way. These might be able to be swapped over to the Tremor setup. Otherwise this kit looks like it would work. Trans cooler being the biggest issue.

[@rpuco]

Great video I just had mine installed by the dealer today and I’m wondering if you can send me a link for the additional trim piece on the driver side that you mention in the video thanks

[@tcr2237]

Thanks! Ya, that trim piece comes stock on trucks with adaptive cruse control. I’m not sure the part number but Ford parts could assist. This link will really help. www.fordtremor.com/threads/warn-winch-replacement-plastic-trim.4399/ It requires some trimming and you will be set. God speed and good luck my friend!

Good vid

[@tcr2237]

Thanks

[@Silentway247]

Whats the plastic aftermarket cover?

[@tcr2237]

My truck doesn’t have the lane keep assist sensor so the plastic cover would cover up more of the Warn metal bracket on the right side of the winch (where the sensor would re-attach after installing). Just dresses it up a bit more. I wasn’t and still not too worried about it.

[@Silentway247]

@@tcr2237 Thanks, i dont have the l sensor either and used the factory plastic without issue as well.

[@dean3471]

So how much did it cost you for that!! Factory installed is $3000

[@tcr2237]

I pulled this truck off the lot so didn’t get the opportunity to custom build my truck. So I Bought the winch at the dealer for $2800. Ya… 😬 not cheap… fits like a glove though.

[@bigg4057]

Bought my king Ranch F-350 with the warn winch today … 8 month wait Order every option ford sells ..

[@Ryan40272]

Both batteries with a powerstroke? Why is it every time I’ve tried building the truck with the powerstroke and select two batteries, it makes me get rid of the powerstroke for the 7.3…. Ford site will not let me have two batteries with the 6.7

[@tcr2237]

From what I have heard. The power stokes have always came with 2 batteries to crank that engine over. So if you add the PS then you don’t need to op for the 2 batt. Option. I believe The alt. Is also upgraded to the 397 amps… at least my window sticker doesn’t show I payed extra for it

[@Ryan40272]

@@tcr2237 ahhhh never looked under the hood. The option was there so every time I clicked it, it kicked out the engine. Good to know 👍

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

Wonder if someone ever try to mount on a non Tremor truck?

[@tcr2237]

I heard it’s a darn good chance it will. Haven’t seen it yet but I think the 2020 and above will work as the cross member frame should have the winch bracket bolt holes in place.

[@JayJay-ym5jx]

Sick

[@2wheelmonster]

So why not show using it?

[@tcr2237]

Great question. This was an install video, once I level out the truck (so it won’t rub) I plan on testing it. Don’t know if I want to Purposely get the truck stuck but I have some good areas to test it where it won’t make it up in 2WD. Will be fun.

[@donteoklahoma7220]

I saw on ford performance that they say you need the dual heavy duty alternator?

[@tcr2237]

Yup, that’s what they say. I think it will still work without. Just will hit the single battery hard. But I believe Ford is referring to the dual battery with The 380amp alternator. All diesels come with that and is an option for the gas motors. Maybe replace the stock single battery with a yellow top Ultima… my 2 cents. Cheers!

[@armedprophet3321]

In all their wisdom Ford did not really that some states require a front license plate. They have provided no place to put on one ! I could of put a fold down type bracket that would of allowed me to have a plate and just fold it down when I needed the winch.

[@tcr2237]

Ya, I did t see anything in the install manual for a front plate relocation. I guess your idea of a fold down type would work nicely

[@tcr2237]

Ford has a relocation bracket. Just found it. Sits right below the Winch nicely. www.levittownfordparts.com/sku-ymm/2022-ford-super-duty/LC3Z-17A385-BA.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImpC4zOif9QIVR7KGCh0bnwvEEAQYASABEgLp-fD_BwE

[@charlesthomas8590]

5 thumps up!

[@brentyuers8963]

A couple years since you did this vid but my 2 cents worth. My cruise control and pre collision alert don’t work because the bracket that holds them bent without a side pull. Dealer can’t fix and none of this is warranty even though it was ordered. I hate not having cruise control , a year now. I suggest not installing this winch, if you like cruise control.

[@tcr2237]

Man, that’s a bummer. My truck doesn’t have the radar module/adaptive cruse, so no issue on mine but good info for the trucks that do. Hope you can find a dealer that can repair. They need to stand by their damn products.
