I'm skeptical about the durability of synthetic. Sounds good on paper, but it may not endure the less than perfectly ideal lab conditions of the real World.
@@python3574 the badland broke due to user error , you can’t hook a winch between two immovable objects and expect something not to break, it’s just not fair to HF to get on UA-cam in front of a audience the size of Cody’s and claim the Badland “ let us down “ it’s not right .
I still hold to the belief that there was an issue with installation on the APEX winch. I don't think it was mounted securely and it flexed causing the issues
The winch didn’t fail, it’s gave 150% and didn’t stop till it destroyed its self. 12000lbs is a lot but with no limits it kept pulling till something gave. My concern with the warm is the limit switch. The capacity and function of the motor is relying on switch. Not of the instinct of the user….. scary design if you need it at 3am in a snow storm. Great looking winch though.
Indeed, that is what he was complaining about prior, that the Warn kept turning off on him. That should have been enough warning already. But didn't reel up under tension, bolt snaped prior to the ending, but he still was on the trigger.
I work for a power company, and we have these on our smaller bucket trucks, one could rainy night I had my larger F800 bucket truck about 60 ft off the road and it was stuck and the only winch we had was on a small bucket .I pulled the smaller unit up to the curb to help hold it in place and that 16.5 pulled a 25k pound truck out of that situation.
The only way you're going to get full use out of this wench, is if you can find a stump like that last one. I honestly don't think this wench is capable of taking that stump out either.
Agreed I think the harbor freight winch would have been fine for most guys I love Cody and his vids but I think that harbor freight winch was abused just a tad
Winches are just amazing, I remember 4x4ing with my dad in the mountains, a light snow came in and then melted. So now that steep stretch of tilted cork screw road with a cliff on one side and ditch on the other was now slick with gooey mud and slick surface below and we had to go back across it to get out of there. Luckily forested with trees along the road, my dad had to go from tree to tree to tree with that winch to get us out of there with out sliding down the cliff or getting too close to the ditch. What a boss. lol So happy to see you are doing well Cody!
It's called a fairlead and it's good to put the hook to the side and reel in the slack. The fairlead has a polished surface, winching the hook into it can raise burrs that would wear on your rope. According to the specs, the sound of the winch, at 8 feet, should be 70 dB. Your winch sounds like they forgot to fill the gearhead with lube. I'd get it checked. It could happen. I had a friend, that bought a new Ford truck, 30 years ago. Drove it about 100 miles and the passenger rear wheel and axle came off. When it left the factory, the diff was bone dry.
I can appreciate the solid vid, no fuss, or complaining, just interesting and informative. I always give u a thumbs up, but today's thumbs up was worth it.
i love following Cody along with his projects. feel free to take time and do what You like its always a treat just to be in the shop and having you share your process and valuable information you've learned.
Have the same winch on my 19 F250. It's a beast and have never had regret saving a little longer to get it. Love your videos and appreciate it them God bless you and your family.
Damn, that’s a loud winch. I almost thought something was wrong with it or that the gears needed to be greased. It’s just great to see you back to yourself and doing the things you enjoy. I agree with the cost factor. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. As well, some stuff is just overpriced garbage. With Warn, you’re going to pay, but you are paying for a quality item that is dependable and reliable. A winch is like a truck... it’s just better to have more than you need. It’s always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I’m glad you’re feeling better. It’s amazing that you can have a pair of pliers that you have used so often the teeth are worn down. I have a pair that belonged to my dad that are worn smooth.
Thanks for your ministering and informing with your channel without fail I feel better after watching. Just a tip on cotter pins...they have that long leg to help on installing but Also let's you grip from the side to spread legs open with needle nose. Then use whatever to wrap them.
My first winch lasted me 6 years, it was a super cheap 9000lb Smittybilt. That little thing had over 50 big pulls on it, went though dozens of rivers and still kept on going. My new WARN 10-S is nice but I really wish I had kept the old one to see how long it would have lasted. Great video.
The info you provide is always very thorough. Thanks for the detail. I know it is a lot of post-production work. Glad you're back. Prayers lifted up for full recovery.
That is one beefy winch. Glad to see that you're on the mend. I do include you and your family in my prayers, but I didn't realize that you had been sick until this morning's video.
I really really don't like the factory battery clamps. This is why. You can't put a set of jumper cables on them. My truck have a lot more cables attached to the battery posts than yours. I could not get a good set of jumper cables to reliably clamp. If would have been better to have a large off battery terminal to mount all the high amp accessories. I finally purchased a tow truck bumper mount and wired directly to one of my batteries. I how have a set of 30' heavy gauge cables. But they were not cheap. My old jumper cables were 20' and 00 I have had them for 40+ years. Why should I have to replace something that has been working fine for years? There are a few nice things about the new cables. The connector is polarity conscience. The ends have a tester which lights up when proper polarity. Just in case there is any question. Also you don't have a to raise the hood to get a jump going. You can connect to the dead car and then pop in the cable on the bumper so there is no chance of arcing around the battery.
I have a 12k Warn PowerPlant winch (made in China) mainly for the air compressor on my Ram 3500. The free spool locked up because it wasn't lubricated well from the factory or sat on the shelf too long at the store. Free spool was never smooth and barely able to operate when I first got it so I didn't use it. Rain must of gotten in and rusted up and was even worse where I had to take my Warn apart to get the free spool to work again. All manufactures have their problems. The Warn 16Ti is a mounting foot forward design which is stronger than the mounting down designs in the 12k and lighter winches. If the bumper flexes, it is likely to bend the connecting bars on the 16Ti winch but since the contactor is separate, not likely to see the same failure as the Badlands.
I’m all about buying quality American things but my china nock off 12500 lb winch on my half ton pickup costs 1/10 of the price of a warn and has pretty much the same specs and similar guts. Granted I use it for pulling myself out and I’m not maxing the capacity out.
worth remembering on a daily driven vehicle, road grit gets into your synthetic winchline and abrades the fibers from within. a good unspooling and rince will prolong its life.
Y'know what? I wasn't happy with the badlands video and I left a comment to reflect that. I really felt like he treated it poorly and didn't give the company a fair shake when he broke it... But, Cody, I've decided to support your choice on this. There's no shame in going back to a trusted brand after a bad experience. Its you truck, your channel, and your preference. If you like the Warn, and it works for you, then theres nothing more to say on the subject. I hope you get years of joy out of your fancy new toy! I'm jealous, I don't even have a truck yet.
@@r.rodriguez4991 I thought winches had clutches with slip or some sort of overload protection? Impossible to know how much pulling force you are applying when pulling things out in the wild? IMHO the winch should just turn off and brake/hold the rope when the load is too high.
Very well said I share the same sentiments But I would like to see this one go through the same torture tests. And for 99% of us professional homeowners the apex at 1/3 rd of the cost would probably suffice just fine Sorry not 1/3 more like 1/5 I would say that 600ish$ to 3k$ you got your monies worth out of the apex lol
So good to see you back at it Cody. I have neither a truck nor a winch but i enjoyed the video and learned something. And, i always appreciate you sharing your philosophy… “when you’re home sleeping in your bed you’ll forget about the cost.”
I couldn't agree more, once I was about 30k down some backcountry road mid-winter in the Rockies. with no cell service and I slid back into a tree. My warn paid for itself right there.
Cody you need to get a better connection to your battery for that warn winch. That winch pulls a lot of amps under load and that small bolt on your factory cable end will not carry enough amps. It will cause severe overheating of your winch motor very quickly. You need to change out your factory batteries in your truck to marine starting /deep cycle batteries with dual posts . One post on each side of the battery for your standard battery cable and a 3/8 threaded stud for the winch batt cable or you can add two deep cycle batteries in the bed for just the winch. If you use the two post replacement batteries it's best to run a jumper between the batteries on the winch posts. If you do so your winch will give you full performance longer duty cycles than you are going to get with that hook up to the factory batt cable that is way to small and the winch will last years longer.
I thpought all the big winches were supposed to be mounted to the face???? then the torque is only on the drum and not the body. I'm jealous either way!!! That's a big bad boy there!!!!! We got a pile of snow already ! Glad your feeling better!!!
You just ended the sentence “so I can be objective” with “I love warn”. Yep. Totally objective, no preconceptions at all :P Seriously though man, great video.
Know you didn't get on with the badlands But if you watch Matt's off-road towing and fab rat (two channel I think you will love )they both use them all the time and love them. And they are using them all the time. Plus Yankum Ropes you need the get a yankim rope for the rig
Although I'm a Warn fan as well, my Zeon platinum 12-s has the internal solenoid (which engages the gearing) failed, after just two years. Although covered by the warranty, I still have to send it off for repair. It's kind of dampened my confidence in Warn, especially for use during emergencies (as Cody so aptly described).
I got one on my F350, installed it in 2018 with bumper after episode with a deer. When it was sitting on a shelf at the shop, before I installed it, it turned a few heads!
Nice to see you back. Glad you’re feeling better and I hope the family’s well. You mentioned on the END video about all your obstacles at the moment. I hope you realize that means whatever you’re trying to do, is worth it. Whatever that means to you. You’re greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Cody. An expensive lesson with the Badlands winch, though. However, good to see you got your dream winch. Continue getting better along with Sweet Loaf and the rest of your family staying healthy.
Love the attention to detail on that bumper system, the access panel is the same thickness and quality as the rest of the system as apposed to just a junk piece of sheet metal.
So funny to watch this entire series of ”winch battle“. 1. " I think the maturfactruer should give options not to show their branding on the winch hawse" for the badland, then "it'd be great to have that warn logo on there" for the warn 2. "I dont think Im gonna put hook strap on" for the badland, then leaves the strap on warn. I don't know what youre into Cody but this is something funny.
I’ve had the the 16.5ti on my 2017 f250 for 4 years now, it’s a beast! And the way it mounts gives it incredible strength in the frame of the winch and in the bumper. I pulled out my skid steer buried over the tracks in mud. I had to anchor the truck to a tree. I had just switched to synthetic line and used a snatch block. Was blown away with the strength of the synthetic line. The winch never even broke a sweat. Glad you’re feeling better and welcome back. I thought you were probably just taking a break after the loss of your father which would have been reasonable and understandable. But to follow up your loss with COVID just the worst. Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you in ours.
Whats Nice with a Warn winch is dual alternator! My ATV OEM Warn winch was dead, i tried another brand of same capacity and it can't do what Warn does. Needless to say i agree Warn is the best.

Must be that loose sticker making all that noise.
Synthetic works great. Only thing I've been using for several years now.
I think you should recreate the conditions when you destroyed the Badland and see how the Warn handles it.
I hope he does also
I’d like to see that. Also I understand if he doesn’t wanna risk having to do the install a third time :-)
Yeah he’s not gonna do it , it’s a shame too because he gets to keep bad mouthing the Badland

He wasn’t sick. He was just so distraught about not buying a warren he fell ill. Now he’s all better.

Nice
Man with all that power draw you might just need a 3rd alternator
I still hold to the belief that there was an issue with installation on the APEX winch. I don't think it was mounted securely and it flexed causing the issues
I believe so as well, mine has done great and I feel even better knowing it's ⅕ the price of the warn.
except if you look at the video the only thing that moved was the winch when it broke in half

If that stump is still around it sure would make a good video to pull it out with the Warn winch!
That was one clean installation, can't wait for you to put it through the same conditions as the Harbor Freight winch . Hope you are feeling better.
WOW CODY!! That is one big winch! But I am afraid you might have to install a 3rd alternator to get full use of it.😁😁

Winch's get you stuck in in-accessible area just as a GPS lets you know exactly where you are when your lost..
i got the step down from the badlands apex (the 12000lb er). Been abusing it for months. No problems. I would like the wireless remote.

Glad you're feeling better.
Sorry you got the bug … but what a great reminder of how much we love you and what a wonderful community you have.
"Destroyed itself" also failed to properly do root management on trunck....
Thank you
Sounds like that planetary needs some grease. Sounds like my Harbor Freight winch before i took apart and greased. It's quite now.
Some things are beyond compromise. This is one of them. Nice peice of kit.
Happy to see you back to normal, keep all of you in my prayers🙏💕

Happy you're back to feeling better, Cody. We were all prying for you

Smitty built is a nice compromise. It did everything we needed with a synthetic spool.
so happy to see you doing better

The only way you’re ever getting 16 tons of straight line pull is if your truck weighs 16 tons.

Seriously though man, great video.
Know you didn't get on with the badlands But if you watch Matt's off-road towing and fab rat (two channel I think you will love )they both use them all the time and love them. And they are using them all the time. Plus Yankum Ropes you need the get a yankim rope for the rig
Frig watch you don’t pull your truck in half, cheers from Chestermere.

Was contemplating the badlands for my tacoma but after your previous video, I'm sticking with warn evo. Good content
Is it normal for the winch to be that loud? I don't have any experience with winches, but I thought it was really noisy before you said it.
Glad to see you back at it, take your time and don't overdo it before you all get healthy. God Bless
Can I just say it's good to have you back , hope you are back to full health physically and mentally ....take it easy from England
I would add a flip out step on the underside of your front bumper to assist with getting access under the hood
Glad to see you back on your feet!

Glad you’re feeling better and welcome back. I thought you were probably just taking a break after the loss of your father which would have been reasonable and understandable. But to follow up your loss with COVID just the worst. Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you in ours.
Whats Nice with a Warn winch is dual alternator!
My ATV OEM Warn winch was dead, i tried another brand of same capacity and it can't do what Warn does. Needless to say i agree Warn is the best.
Good to see you back
