Awesome, thanks for that info everybody! I’ve been under the weather the last few days, I’m going to get out there and tackle this soon though. Since only 1/4-3/8” stripped out, I might just start with longer bolts, and then for the permanent fix, I’ll see if I can drill and tap for 9/16”...

I guess the only real way to tell if this thing is actually pulling 20,000lbs is to hook it up to a scale and try pulling on it. I wonder how hard that would be to do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually it looks like the breaking strength of the 0.5” steel cable is around 21,500lbs, so I guess bumping up the pressure bypass isn’t a good idea unless I know that it is bypassing at a lower psi than desired, which I don’t know how I would test that out for sure unless I hooked up some...

I was researching a bit to try and see what to expect out of this winch in terms of pulling power. I agree, it doesn’t seem like I’m getting my full money’s worth with it right now. Before we went to 2-1 with the snatch block, it seemed like it was pulling until it reached the pressure bypass...

Yes, the flange on the output of the hydraulic motor is separated from the winch case. Not sure why there was only 3/8" or so going into the winch case, maybe this was an after-military install? What is the purpose of that flange between the motor and the winch case? Just a spacer to align...

This past weekend we were up playing in the snow with the M925A2, and I got stuck pretty bad in a snow drift. We ended up having to winch out, and after several hours of winching and shoveling, we were finally able to drive out and home. The next day, I noticed a pool of hydraulic fluid...

Took the truck to the car show at my work, and won a trophy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they replace the odometer with the rebuild, wouldn’t your odometer just say “00060”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every time I turn off the truck, I hear air venting out of the intake too. Is this because of bad brake diaphragms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There’s a company in the San Francisco Bay Area that specializes in Humvees and other military trucks, I’ll try and find their name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it doesn’t, it’s the solenoid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s the diode going to ground. Unplug it and it should work normally after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This week I took the truck up to the mountains for an off road trip for the first time, Had a Blast! This truck handles the snow so well. We were cruising over 6-8 feet of snow and leaving 2 foot deep tire tracks. I'm really impressed in how this thing did.

Thanks so much for all your guys help! I rebuilt the control box I ordered online, And after installing the new delco style alternator, rebuilt PCB box, and new ABS module, the truck runs like a champ! Took it up into the mountains this last weekend and had a blast! Now I just need to rebuild...
