Thanks for the link. They sell the Superwinch I have and they said it has an external break so I can get away with regular synthetic line. It's seems REAL hard to pull the cable out on that winch compaired to Ramsey or Warn. Anybody else notice that on the new Superwinch?
How long have you had it? And, did you "pre tension it" or whatever? By loading it up as you spool it in.... I made the mistake of not loading the line much when I first got my winch... and after a short pull the next time I tried to use it the line would barely spool out...
I took it all out and loaded it up some as I spooled it in and have never had a problem again.. Synthetic is much nicer to work with.
Also, I may be wrong but I was under the impression that the winch will only heat up if your spooling out under load... or just spooling the winch out with the remote (not free spooling). I thought that's how they operated and it wouldnt get hot spooling it in? Am I wrong?
