Well my winch has been really hard to free spool and LOUD, so I removed it from the truck and brought it with me to work. Complete tear down. Found the bearing in the elec motor at the end of where the brushes are was seized. So drove out to Grainger and picked up a new bearing for $10. Cleaned everything. Reinstalled all components. Now it free spools good but is still very loud. I couldn't get the entire center section torn down (where the cable spools). The loud noise sounds to be coming from the internals to that part.

Also bought a tri-gauge set. My last outing was in some deep water and my dash didn't agree. Having all kinds of gauge issues. So time to just by-pass those altogether.

Now I just need to get my doubler shifter and issue figured out for the weekend.
