Hydraulic winch install - new power steering issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

And now you will probably not have another ounce of trouble with the winch. But if you use it alot you can wear the remote connection a bit ragged. But in my opinion the mile marker hydraulic is best you can buy. I'm going to buy one for my K20 and I will build my bumper with install of 12000 as the winch. I love heavy duty.

Yeah I would have liked a 10.5 or 12 but this one was a great deal. I thought I was just getting the winch but it came with a spare steel hawse fairlead, a roller FL, the aluminum Hawse FL for the new synthetic rope, 1 wireless remote set up, 1 wired (4 wire) and 1 wired (3 wire) remote. The guy also threw in the original steel cable which still had the packing oil on it and a 50' 3" wide recovery strap. Gonna keep an eye out for the bigger one for the back of the truck behind the bumper.

I always carry a block and ropes anyway. Just remember for every line that gets shorter you double your advantage. And overloading a hydraulic is no big deal, just like turning your steering wheel all the way right or left until it stops. So if you overload just use blocks to add advantage.

Good idea on the blocks Jeff. Been wanting to get at least one.

Just picked up another one over the weekend. Another smoking deal that I couldn't pass on. 10,500#. Im thinking of this one on the rear hidden behind the stock rear bumper. Man I just can't seem to finish this truck. Always finding something else to do to it.

There never was a statement more true!

No doubt Jason. To top it all off, my kid brother asked me if I wanted a Chelsea PTO off of a NP205. Of course I said "sure". Have no idea what I'm going to use that for but couldn't let it pass me by because I had never seen one!
I'm sure there's a bunch of us out there that are like this. Lol

I have three PTO'S and winches, just can't pass one up.

'63GENIII · 08-30-2015, 05:28 PM

Hey dieseldude, have you ever run one off of the T case?
