Well, I've been needing to work on a few winches lately. Mine the Warn M8000, got a new remote and 4 soleniods a few years back. It has started to act up with the plug for the remote.
the 2nd winch Warn XD9000i(belongs to bajaplayboy) he wants me to work on this in exchange for another just like it that need work too.
The WarnXD9000i: I couldn't find any Warn solenoids in stock today, so I replaced them with stock Ford Bronco soleniods(a fraction of the warns' cost)($10 each). I cleaned it all up(internally) and was able to get it to work. I have already removed mine(M8000) so I can mount this 9000 up and give it some good testing. If it all works out, Sean will have a good winch, and I can start working on another one that will be mine:biggthumpup: Monday, I will order a solenoid pack for my M8000 to make it right yet again. The Ford solenoids are not the best to use for winching...I hear they cant handle the heat from winching. But, they do work.
Also, I wont be selling any-so dont askmokin:
