[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1304076, member: 15947"] Keep the 8274 and make it work, it's a great winch. Mine has never let me down. I traded a working M8000 for it. I had to rewire it up with new solenoids (put them under the hood instead of out in the weather), fix a broken stud on one of the contacts on the motor. I also went ahead and tore the winch itself down and filled with new gear oil and resealed it. I wired up some in cab controls and did away with the cheezy remote plug by wiring up a 4-pin trailer plug setup instead. It works awesome. The only other thing I need to do now is rebuild the brake/clutch so it will free spool easier. [/QUOTE]
