Clay, I might use your quote for my new sig

'I keep killing battery's winching'


The isolator came from Powerstream. It is a pretty simple device.

Chuck, I will be running quarter guards. It's been to cold and crappy to paint them though. So, I am waiting on the weather for that.

Ben, this diagram should explain what the couple of wires do- the ones you see are the ones probably going to the compressor switch. The plug for the controller didn't move, other than to wiggle side to side a fraction with the retaining screws removed.

Main reason for the powerplant winch is because it was sitting around. The ARB compressor was too. I'm trying to get it up and going for the super cel here in 2 months and won't have time to do everything I want (on board air tank, lines, etc). My thoughts are to keep the ARB compressor just for the ARB's and to have the winch supply air for the OBA system that will eventually take shape. I could plumb the OBA system to the ARB solenoids down the road.

For a little update, I fabbed up some brackets to mount the cooling fan and got the radiator installed and plumbed. For my future reference, the upper hose is Gates 21729 and the lower is Gates 21731. I did have to cut and splice each of them to fit, but they worked out pretty well.
