When you install, check my build thread for how to thread the line thru if you go with synthetic. It's a freaking pain to get thru till you know how to do it. Congrats on the winch!

Yah, threading synthetic on the 10 is a bugbear lol.
I don't know how the expect you to pull that line through with the cheap zip tie they send with it.. I broke a few zip ties and hurt my hands before grabbing some ground wire yanking that line through!
As of right now, whoever can get it to me the quickest.
Give quadratec a call. They'll match any price and has free shipping. If you get a decent sales rep, you may get a bonus gift with purchase.
If something goes wrong, they have great customer service and have been around forever.
One last question, will my stock battery work with the winch?
Awesome! I saw on FB that some guy said this
I have yet to see anything like this happen. I would love to hear what others have to say on this. CCA on a battery to me would be irrelevant if engine is running while winching, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: For my own curiosity, I looked into this further. I can't find any evidence to support that an OEM 600CCA battery would cause an issue. With that being said, Warn's website does still recommend a minimum of 650CCA. Still, if your engine is running, I can't see CCAs being a factor at all unless you were using the winch so extremely that it was draining the battery to the point where alternator couldn't keep up. To me this still isn't a CCA issue for the battery.
And as far as the solenoid burning out and winch being a ticking time bomb, I call bullshit. In a situation where a battery was supplying too little amperage, the load component(winch) just wouldn't work.
That's my thoughts on it. And in my short research, I found plenty of people stating they were running a stock battery with no issues at all, fyi.

Thanks for taking the time to do some research as well. I "googled" for well over an hour on the subject and came to the same conclusion, but this guy seemed adamant about the whole ordeal so I wanted to be positive.
