Our formula is to take the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and multiply it by 1.5 to get a minimum pulling capacity.
We do offer some Hidden Kits for Silverado, but only from '99-'02.

I personally have a Blue Fuel jumper pack that I got at NAPA a couple of years ago. It has worked well. Also has flashlight, USB, and a couple of other things.
However, I just got a demonstration from the WARN battery rep showing the Noco Genius, and I was thoroughly impressed. If I were to do...
Sorry I missed your question the first time. The solenoids are PN 72631 and are easy to get. It's the control pack that's unique and needs to be bought at the dealer.

Sorry to hear you had geartrain issues. When was that, out of curiosity?
Other differences include:
- Different Motors
- Different finishes
- Different line speeds
- VR8000 had solenoids, M8000 has a contactor
- Different remotes
- Different gears.
Early one, the VR had very similar gears to...
Sorry to hear you had a problem with parts; I know that's never fun.
That winch is custom-built to their specs and such and we sell it to them. So calling us would be like calling DANA to get axle parts vs. going to the dealer. We are an OE supplier in this case.

Yeah, Power Wagon stuff is a whole other ball game. Those winches are actually a Chrysler part number and are made to their spec. We also do not support them directly as it's not simply an M12000. If it is a Power Wagon winch, the Dodge/Ram dealer has to provide support.

On an M12000, the clutch handle should be on the right (passenger's) side of the vehicle. Rope should come off the bottom of the drum.
You can find the M12000 user manual here: https://www.warn.com/truck/assets/pdf/63418_B7_LargeFrame_WinchOperatorsManual.pdf

Yes, they are; they're just coming out now.
If you Google the part numbers (97565 for medium duty, 97570 for heavy duty) you'll find places like Clemson 4 Wheel Center, Quadratec,

So, interestingly enough, our German distributor, Taubenreuther, saw our story and it turns out they have one, too! So that's 2 of 5 accounted for!

Duty cycle and DC winches is a complex thing. There are so many variables that can affect the outcome: Weight of object being pulled, how much line you have, diameter of the line, how much power your battery has, and so on. I would go as far as to say that no electric DC winch on the market has...
