[@Elderos5]

Cody! I have important advice for you. Never store your torque wrenches below the 20% setting. I calibrated torque wrenches for nuclear power plants for 11 years. I got training at the local Snap-On repair facilitie. The reason you do not want to store your wrenches at 0 is, while the spring is loose the pivot, which controls the point the wrench breaks, can the knocked loose and rotate inside the wrench. While they may appear to be a small cube, they are not exactly the same on all sides. That difference can throw off the calibration on your wrench. Always keep some tension on the pivot. The Snap-On repair tech recommends 20%.

Leave red safety hook tab in your glovebox or recovery gear bag until needed. Use it to avoid pinching when you are spooling in the hook close to the farelead of stow point. Nice install!

[@flippinsteel2352]

The reason I highly recommend the kill switch is that you have a wireless system that could possibly be interfered with.... also since its looking for a signal all the time its drawing power

[@tkalus5736]

That isolation switch is a fire prevention safety device. If the heavy hot wire from the battery gets damaged and grounded bad things are going to happen without it.

[@scottbeery1319]

And if you regularly use your winch, the solenoids end up going bad and can be stuck in the on or off positions.

Finally someone who knows to use conductive grease and NOT dielectric

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

@m9 ovich @ Mechanic Mike A common notion but incorrect.Yes dielectric grease as such does not conduct electricity but it doesn't matter. You don't want electricity flowing between gaps in conductors anyway, the grease does not inhibit conduction where metal-to-metal contact occurs. This subject comes up on here from time to time and there are studies you can find which show that using dielectric grease inside a connector does not impede current flow. If the contacts aren't making contact, then you aren't getting current anyway unless it is arcing. You're not "getting away" with anything. If the connection isn't tight then the presence of grease or no grease isn't going to matter

[@buckhorncortez]

@m9 ovich Well... some people really have 40 years experience, while others seem to have 1 year's experience 40 times. Hard to tell which category you fall into...

[@dieseldave564]

Hey Cody, just an FYI. Synthetic line weakens over time when exposed to UV light (sunlight). I would suggest that you either make sure the sheath is all the way down to the hook keeping the line covered when not in use, or wrap the first foot of line with some electrical tape to protect it from the sun if you plan to keep the hook stowed on the tow hook. Other option is to just keep it all on the barrel and out of sight.

[@StacyClark73]

I was able to test out the winch after your first video on the Badland. I had to haul a truck for my son down an unknown driveway that was pure ice. Going up a hill, I ended up sliding down backwards and jackknifing the trailer into the ditch. While trying to patiently wait for the receivers of the truck to come up with an idea to get me unstuck, I come up with my own. The winch is mounted on the front of my sons 20' implement trailer. I ran the winch around a nearby tree and hooked to the back corner of the trailer. I didn't have my snatch block with me but had some heavy rubber in the back of my truck I put around the tree to save rope. It pulled the trailer loaded with a fullsize ext cab Chevy truck back onto the driveway with ease. I did get some good praise from my sons for mom always coming up with good ideas. It's good to know this winch makes what my sons do easier with the security that it will do the job. It gets used near daily, not just mounted to look pretty. I'm betting it's been used more since Christmas than most get used during their lifetime.

The wireless remote is really nice when I am using it in my trailer application that way I can move around and watch the load while I am in the process of pulling it up.

[@masonstansberry2625]

I speak from experience when I say that you should keep the grab strap on your winch hook or in the vehicle to be used when you grab the hook, because I have ripped my thumb nail out from the cuticle and almost lost my thumb. The cable became double wound and when it was going out it quickly went back in and pinched my thumb against the fairlead. The person that last used said winch hooked it all the way to the far edge of the bumper on the atv, and because it double wound I couldn't pull it out in free spool. Sure, I shouldn't have put my hand there, but we all make mistakes, and sometimes they cost us dearly.

That winch has extra active electronic circuits with wireless that means there could be more potential for quiescent current leak and slowly draining the batteries when the truck is off. If you ever leave the truck sit for a couple weeks or longer I'd check the battery voltage to be sure that you don't need a battery shut off switch.

Not once in my life did I think that something from harbor freight could give me the fizz but here I am 😂.

[@danielalamo2075]

No pull tab. I have never put a battery cut off on any of my winches. My old warn shorted out during use. And I seen on KZbin that it's a good idea to have a battery cut off incase your winch shorts out. I will be installing battery cut offs in the future.

I thought I saw your truck in Portland last week. It was an exact copy with the AF camper, however as I caught up it wasn’t you. No Buckstop bumper. I was hoping to wave and say hi! I do see you still have the old Clark forklift from your old shop in SE Portland. Take care!

[@OldHuntingGuy]

That pull tab won't be red for long. Maybe you can make a black one from some webbing.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Best airing system I’ve seen lately was on a Porsche Rally car. The air chucks were on the A pillar on both sides and the compressor switch on the dash.

2 videos in 1 day. Oh boy it feels like Christmas

[@Leep203]

Cool Set up. Keep the Red pull tab handy, it is useful to locate the end.

[@harrismahaffey201]

East Coast guys do stuff like that without a lift all the time and don't even complain

[@Bodhi1satva]

That changes some with age! lol

[@bradhamilton4290]

Since I mentioned core heaters and oil pan heaters and battery blankets I also have additional little plug-in with an extension cord magnetic heaters that you can use on your oil pans just in case

Favorite channel on KZbin! God Bless!

[@BigPawTivald]

Love dual alternators. Had dual Mean Green HO alternators on my 99 7.3. love that ford made the godzilla as a nod to the ol' faithful powerstroke.

[@ashtonjones8892]

I love watching your videos and learning from them. i have truly learnt a lot from these videos. If you see this i just want to say you have genuinely made my life better. God bless all.

I know there's a thousand comments and probably many have said what I said but while I agree about your decision with the disconnect switch. I assume why they included it was in case of the motor potentially getting stuck in one direction you could just disconnect the switch before you break something. MY ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE, to install a breaker switch that matches the amperage of the winch. I would assume it would be one comparable to liftgates. You have the circuit protection, and in case of a motor that won't shut off you could depress the red tab and open the circuit.

We’re due for a sweater that says “Dual Alternators” in the front. With “..... dual batteries, too” on the back 😂😂😂

12:56 "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT", go with it!!!

[@scottybobatv]

No pull tab, it'll look nice for a month and then it will just look dirty and scruffy. Looks cool👌

[@sugarfreeshootermilsim3129]

I always tuck end of the red tab inside the sleeve on the line. Keeps it out of the dirt, but it's there if I need it.

[@Gideon_Judges6]

Way over there on the east coast, they spell "instal" with *TWO* ells, like "install." Weird, right?

[@Castleknight]

The air compressor is a neat add-on. Please show us that in operation, when you get it all hooked up. No pull tab.

[@VnazT]

You’re going to regret not getting a Warn. You get what you pay for.

[@joshrepik]

Harbor freight has seriously stepped up their game in what you get for serious money in the past couple years. Their icon series tools and boxes are no joke at all

[@VnazT]

@@joshrepik I know. I also know that he’s going to get so much hate about how he should get a Warn! I was mainly been tongue in cheek. Besides Harbor freight hooked him up, not warn!

[@joshrepik]

@@VnazT and after all those winches he wound for them too

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

Cody that looks to be a sweet setup. The comments about you needing a bigger winch just tells me the commenters likely don't know how to do rigging.

[@SM3Dcreations]

first Loctite :D

[@Danyael850]

If You don't use your truck off-road, then ok. BUT If you do, A MUST HAVE is any kind of main switch. Seen some bad stuff happening, just because there was no circuit breaker. The wire/wireless controll can fail when you get water into the winch/controll box. A couple tons of power winding on that rope can make some damage, use your imagination.

[@theruralrenegade8911]

I've got a block heater!! Lol here in Canada even small gas cars and welders and everything with a motor has a block heater it is pretty necessary in -45

[@jeepstuffwb5165]

I’ve had this winch on for almost a year now and I recommend putting the pull tab on, but instead of using the big loop to hook it use the little one that way you can easily pull the winch out using the tab. Never had a problem with it fraying in the wind. Also the hook will seat flat against the fairlead with a little pressure on it which gives it a super clean look compared to other winches and let’s the pull tab sit higher so it doesn’t get caught driving through brush.
