So, I have had this truck for a few months, and only recently been able to put some time into driving and improving it. Today I decided to spool out the winch, clean and treat the cable. I could not get the winch to wind at all in any direction. I have spent time searching around to make sure that what I was doing was correct, and it was. Closer inspection revealed a disturbing site. When I first got the truck, I attempted to operate the winch, but I was at work and had little time. At that time, I was able to get it to revolve five or 6 times and just figured it worked. The operation was not smooth at all, it was kind of clunky. After that I have paid no attention to the winch till now. I also noticed that the gauge on the filter is well into the red. I bought this truck and paid well for the winch upgrade. The place is what I considered a reputable dealer. My question is, am I correct in assuming that it should be repaired or replaced at his expense? Or do I bite the bullet. This is one of several disappointments I have with the condition of the truck, but it is the last one I can take. So, I gave up on the winch. Disconnected the cable and coiled it up. My neighbor came over with his A2 and I patched up the hole in his exhaust. Then took a short drive and felt much better.
