WHY, he just hung it out the back door and has a 5gl. bucket attached to one of the rear doors

I saw this at the 12SSGAR, all I can say is OUTSTANDING, AWESOME, and these adjitives are a UNDERSTATEMENT. Sorry about the spelling, have not upgraded yet so spell check works.

NOTHING to a wrecker or tractor owner, no matter how good a codition they are in.

There is a way around the 600' cable storage on a "standard" winch, there is a type of winch that has a HIGH capiticy spool but is a fairly small unit, this unit is made to pull a small clean out pipe pig or pulling electial cable though a newly laid street conduit, it has a fairly large spool...

Lock out hubs are a no-no with a sprag, the sparg will think the rears are spining and then "drive" the front third member, the sprag shifts in to reverse or forward (any gear), it goes into reverse or comes out of reverse into foward, there is NO nutural like the 5t when the air is shut off...

Any decent pilot winch CAN be REBUILT (stretched) to handle the needed 600' of 3/8" cable ( 1/4" or 5/16" HIGH STRENGTH LIFT cable most likly will work), The idel place to mount the pilot winch would be on top of the rear fairlead top plate, this way BOTH winches can be watched at the same time.

The problem with the capstains is that it is a 100% hands on, 100% of the time job that the rear winch is spooling out (work great for a TWO man crew), the powered pilot winch with a on/off switch or hyd. powered (with hyd. power, a flow control valve can be installed in the hyd. circuit for...

What air presure should be used ????

How about putting ALL the "how about" "can", "ect". threads in one thread so as the build takes place ALL the info is in ONE spot instead spread over a dozen threads, and again as I said in another thread, why not have nephew do his own posting, sure would be quicker, ect. also what is nephews name

Why not have nepwew post and ask questions and carry on a back and forth descuession, sure would make things EASIER, FASTER, CLEARER, and NO third party he said/wants, This third party stuff is getting OLD

Best way to see if a switch will handle the load, start the truck 1/2 dozen times, check to see if switch warm

install in the ground before the frame

OK, I'll see if I can go to 9, then things SHOULD be good, we changed to vb 4, what were we before, maybe SS is the only vB 4 site I have, ANYWAY thanks everybody for there help in this, we will get it sorted out in time The above is strange, because google spell check WORKS on SS with IE 9 but...
