That is the wrong sticker on that motor. Timestamp 2:03.
Where did you buy the winch from?

I have the last gen VR on my truck and it has been going strong for six years. I did have to take it apart within the first year because it did have some water intrusion and the free spool would not work. I took it apart and greased everything and it has been good ever since.
I know, that's why I pulled the motor off and checked the part number. Luckily it says 12K. The piece the sticker is applied to is a bolt on cover so they probably just put the wrong motor cover on the winch. At this point I think it's kinda funny.
It was an actual gift from someone else, not like my usual truck parts gifts to myself. I'm not certain where it came from.

I think he's looking for the middle man.
It's finally on the truck. After all it took to get the winch bolted to the bumper, I was worried it wasn't going to clear the core support, but the height must be pretty much the same as the old winch.
The clutch lever is a perfect fit like I'd built it that way from the beginning.

Free spool:
If it was a 1/2 turn like the old winch, it might have been a problem.

get a snatch block and a extra length of rope for next time you need a crazy pull so you dont burn this one up .
Or just be like me and don't do anything stupid and get your truck into a situation where a winch or 3 are needed.
Oh, Wait. Never mind. Do not follow me for suggestions.

He's usually out with the Nitro Circus boys. I think the Warn is the minimum price of entry for what they do. Anything less would probably end up in a smoking heap of parts.
I do have a snatch block. I don't have true winch line extension, but it's on my "want" list. For now we use straps.
if using synthetic rope you need a specific block for that .
Like this one?
Those things are scary as hell. When the rope fails, those saucers go flying.
I'll stick with the traditional style snatch blocks and D rings, a proven combo.
I saved this one for future buying. Looks like a good one for a good price.
I love soft- schackles, I have two snatch blocks for rope.
Is this a synthetic rope snatch block? Id be interested in seeing what the tethered orange rope is rated for. Id imagine this is secured to a tree via a strap, and a shackle?
You use the orange soft shackle to attach the snatch block to the tree strap. No metal shackle used.
Ah cool! What size is the sheave like red thing, and the rope diameter? Picture makes it look small, but I wouldn't think it would be.
Depends on your rope size. This one works for 5/16 to 1/2 inch, which is stnadard winch stuff. I wouldn't run cable through it though.
