    matt, have you ever measured the voltage drop under load to that rear winch? looks like pretty large awg wire running from front to back, I'd be curious to know how it performs.
    i run a big inverter and occasionally a winch from the back of my truck using 20ft of 0awg ofc from dual batteries up front and it drops below 10v anytime i draw over 150amps of current. maybe ill have to add another battery in the back.

    Kind of a dumb (beginner’s) question, but what is the trick to watching how the cable/rope is being wound on the spool when the winch is recessed and hard to see? I have a new Power Wagon and, of course, the winch is tucked well aft of the bumper. Fun fact: Warn does not supply, or even have, an instruction booklet for that winch since they consider it a RAM part (and, not surprisingly, RAM says it’s a Warn part, so they have no info either). If money were no object, I would try to retrofit that wireless winch into the PW. Very handy.

    • @KeithStarr
      @KeithStarr 2 місяці тому

      You can buy the Warn wireless remote (part # 90287) and it'll work with your Power Wagon. Just plug in the receiver, hold both remote buttons to turn it on, and start winching. I've been using it on my Power Wagon for years and love it. It's not as fancy as the platinum remote but it's been dead reliable, batteries last forever, and it beats having to stay near the truck when winching.

    It's pretty cool and the aux buttons built into the wireless remote is a nice touch. But you can buy FOUR 12k lbs badIanz with money left over for the price of this winch. and this thing is only 10k lbs rated. Also we are in the 'drone" era. There are endless DIY kits out there where you can build a wireless remote with relays, etc.. It doesn't' cost much. I'm not seeing what you get here for all that extra cost.
