    100% trying this on Husbands dodge winch and see what we find 🤔 Thanks for the epic video again. We learn so much watching your shed vids 😊
  • Super helpful, my winch was stuck going in and wouldn't stop. After pulling apart the solionod I found that the contact pins had a Teflon sleeve around them. One was deformed and was preventing the pin from freely moving. Pulled them out and hit it with a bit of wd40 and happy days winch working again. Thanks again for the great video. 🎉🎉
  • Great vid mate keen to see more informative vids like this one keep up the good work

    Good tip about checking the battery connection. I felt like an idiot after disassembling the contactor multiple times only to find a loose connection at the battery. It would click a few times and then nothing. Tested with a spare battery on the bench and everything worked fine.

    Hey mate Great video, very informative and great little fix for people to give a go Keep up the good work
  • Awesome video! Going to do this today, was at glass house thought I’d quickly test the winch. Wouldn’t spool out. Thank god I didn’t need the winch hopefully it’s as simple as a siezed pin

    Great video mate I had a good laugh at you trying to remember how 8274s come apart When I first met crole he bought my old giggle free spool and I offered to help him rebuild his 8274 He's thinking cool this winch truck guy will build my winch good I legit made a meal of it couldn't remember vs a full giggle

  • Another awesome vid. Super helpful and of course, a plug for RRO. I dream of fitting up one of their Bullet motor and Allbright combos 💪🏻

    Nice video mate, my mates 80 had a clicking solenoid in the high country a few weeks ago but weren't sure how to fix it. I know now
  • Is it as simple as changing out the old warn style controller and just bolting one of these in? I want to put it under the bonnet but don’t want to waste my time with the bulky solenoid pack

    Might download this video in case I forget 😂

    I don't think it's possible to disassemble the old round nickel plated solenoids. Low mount motor just engages with a centre shaft.

    A large socket would probably be easier that ya hammer putting ya brushes but in .

    My kings winch is clicking and it feels like there’s contact and I can feel the vibration in the box but there’s no movement at all. Any help ?
  • The winds will work but then it will shut off let it cool down and it'll start again. What could be the problem
