Some info help on Dayton Winch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK...I found this underneath the bumper on my "new" truck.

It says right on it that is has a 1500 pound load limit.

SO google "Dayton 6X191" and I find
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg...mId=1611575411

The grainger page says the load is 3000 pounds vertical lift max. What exactly is that?

I am sure they must have updated the model.

DO I need this thing? I mean I know what a winch is used for. If I am using it to get me out of a ditch...1500 pounds is not enough. Right?

It also says that the full load current is 220 amps. I know I do not have a 220 AMP alternator.

I guess what I am saying is that I am a but ignorant on these.

Thanks,

Tim
