[QUOTE="skinny_pedal, post: 1308088, member: 16039"] So I just installed my winch in my truck today. Its a Ramsey Rep 8000. I did a temporary install of the solenoids and mounted them above the smog pump on my engine(79 Toy 20r). So I went and did some wheeling today and had to use my winch. I did a straight pull about 30 yards or so up a straight hill. The winch pulled my truck up it just fine. I then had to re rig to another tree. It was at this point my winch would not pull my truck? I would rev it up to try and help it with the draw but just did not want to pull in. So I popped my hood and my battery was steaming. So I didn't have a meter with me, and my charge light never came on. Im just curious why this happened. I just had the winch rebuilt. Did having my solenoids right next to the engine overheat them? Do the early Toy alternators just not have the power to run a winch? Im gonna dig into some this week, just wanting to get some ideas [/QUOTE]
