Winch Problems: GEW 10000 Stopped working.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Budgie:
Just to finish this thread off..................it wasn't the solenoids at all, it was the motor. The motor end casing has a nice big crack in it and I don't know what the insides are like as I havn't taken it apart.  :wink:

So, I've been out (read: sat on the puter) and got myself a Warn XD9000 from Rebel 4x4, best price I could find.  :D

I part-fitted it yesterday (before the rain started  :evil: ) and completed the job today.
As I had a spare Allbright solenoid pack in the garage that got fitted to save having any problems in the future and I wired up the in-cab controls as well.
I had to make a braket to mount the solenoid pack on as, for some reason, Warn don't make or supply one with the winch (like Superwinch do on the X9's!).
I've refitted the Plasma Rope and kept the alloy fairlead so, if I have a spare £100 burning a hole in my pocket at some time, I can get a new motor for GEW and sell it with the a new wire rope and roller fairlead.  :wink:

i rekon that you'll pull the motor of the XD & put it on the GEW & fit an Xp motor to the Xd  :lol:  :twisted:

extreme90:
sorry 2 spoil the fun but the motor wont fit

Budgie:
I know the XD motor won't fit the GEW cos the GEW motor comes complete with the end casing to the winch drum, like this:


Nice idea though Mikee, but I think I've spent enough on winches this month already.  :wink:
