Well, I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that the 4 new solenoids set it straight. I’m fine with my wired remote. My multi-mount winch has a wireless remote if I need to be “untethered”.

Is that PN for the M12000? Wireless remote?

It was me who said that, and I’m the OP. I already ordered a complete set of 4 solenoids (picking them up from post office this morning) from an independent source. If it doesn’t solve the problem, I’ll just bite the bullet and order the solid state controller.

I love a regular cab (what those of us who were driving trucks before the 2000s called “single cabs”). I grew up with them, and have owned many. With 2 Weimaraners and a wife, I’m stuck in the quad/crew world. I recently went from a big crew back to a 3rd gen Dodge quad cab short box. It’s...

Hopefully it’s a 350, but probably a 351;) I like the older trucks. All the ones I’ve had from the 2010s and up are incredibly complicated. That’s fine if you have warranty, a big slush fund or are a tech at a dealer of the same brand you drive, but if you are neither, simpler is better. I...

That’s good info, but only pertains to ‘09 and up. Maybe Dodge has an OEM high volume pump for the earlier 5.7s? Oil changes on the regular are the best defence at this point, and I just completed its first under my ownership and will be sending a sample off to the lab for analysis once the...

Yup. If the 5.7 dies, I’d love to shoehorn a 6.4 into this thing, but I doubt it would be an easy swap into a 3rd gen. The radius arms are fantastic too, but I paid half for the ‘05 with the same mileage as the 13 I was looking at, and the 13 had some “unsavoury” additions and modifications...

I was a parts guy in the ski industry for a while, and dealt with Kässborher, Dopplemayer, Bombardier, YAN and a bunch of other German and French language suppliers. Start with a whack of weird components common, yet totally different and then add in language and time barriers. Made for some...

I was polite, (until I terminated the call) and CS reps are (should be) trained to be polite. There was no cause for him to get annoyed, let alone vindictive.

If you make stickers, whip me up a couple and I’ll pay you for them!

I figured it out after I pulled the winch out of the truck and ordered another brands crossed over part number. I wanted to have them on hand before I pulled the winch. But that’s not the point. The point is that a supposedly great American company chose to say screw you to the point of...

Warn has been a supporter of ExPo for years, and as a long time member here, I hate bashing a company that has given to the community. That said, I had reason to call Warn Industries today for some very basic info. The “customer service” rep I spoke to was beyond unreasonable, and bordered on...

Well, since I already bought the ‘05 weeks ago, your timing is poor. I’ve also owned 4th gen Cummins trucks, and I’m happy I chose the 3rd gen.

Yeah, I bought an ‘05 new as well, (this is my 3rd ‘05 now) but was looking for a diesel at the time so drove away in a 3500 Cummins QCSB. I went home from the dealer, loaded up the wife, dogs and surfboards and we drove from Whistler BC to Phoenix, bought a pop-up camper, strapped it down...

I’m in the process of selling off 3 of my 5 vehicles and buying one new to me. We have a ‘25 Land Cruiser for the business, I just bought a ridiculously priced ‘05 Power Wagon for towing, dump runs, hunting, fishing, and I have a 1963 VW Manx clone for when I want to waste time spinning...
