100% trying this on Husbands dodge winch and see what we find 🤔 Thanks for the epic video again. We learn so much watching your shed vids 😊

Can’t hurt to have a crack, and you’ll learn yourself how to do it providing it has the same solenoid haha! Thanks for watching, appreciate it. Cheers
Great vid mate keen to see more informative vids like this one keep up the good work

Thanks mate, I’ve done plenty of informative videos in the past and hopefully a lot more in the future. Cheers
Super helpful, my winch was stuck going in and wouldn't stop. After pulling apart the solionod I found that the contact pins had a Teflon sleeve around them. One was deformed and was preventing the pin from freely moving. Pulled them out and hit it with a bit of wd40 and happy days winch working again. Thanks again for the great video. 🎉🎉

Another awesome vid. Super helpful and of course, a plug for RRO. I dream of fitting up one of their Bullet motor and Allbright combos 💪🏻

Definitely with the bar kit. I’m with you on neatness! I bought a slightly cheaper TG Thompson from RRO thinking I’d attach it to the long M6 bolts but the motor on my Warn has an extrusion for the armature bearing. Dang it. Will keep the TG as a spare and continue to dream.
Great video mate I had a good laugh at you trying to remember how 8274s come apart When I first met crole he bought my old giggle free spool and I offered to help him rebuild his 8274 He's thinking cool this winch truck guy will build my winch good I legit made a meal of it couldn't remember vs a full giggle

Hahaha yeah it’s been a few years since I’ve had one apart or done any mods to them. Need to refresh the memory I think 😂
Good tip about checking the battery connection. I felt like an idiot after disassembling the contactor multiple times only to find a loose connection at the battery. It would click a few times and then nothing. Tested with a spare battery on the bench and everything worked fine.

Is it as simple as changing out the old warn style controller and just bolting one of these in? I want to put it under the bonnet but don’t want to waste my time with the bulky solenoid pack

Yes mate, just take the old solenoid off and put one of these Albright ones on and wire it in.

My kings winch is clicking and it feels like there’s contact and I can feel the vibration in the box but there’s no movement at all. Any help ?

Pull the motor off and make sure end bearings are free and it doesn’t have any rust build up!
The winds will work but then it will shut off let it cool down and it'll start again. What could be the problem

Depends on the winch, might have a temperature cut off or something along those lines.
Can you replace the old metal round selonods with the one your using now

Yep. I replaced the 4 solenoid pack with an Albright contactor on my M8000 after one went bad. Works well.

I don't think it's possible to disassemble the old round nickel plated solenoids. Low mount motor just engages with a centre shaft.

That’s correct mate. Can only change out individual solenoids. Cheers
Will the solenoid still click if the little things in the bottom of the solenoid are stuck cause I can winch out but not in

Yep sounds like them pins in the bottom will be stuck, easy fix. Unless your power supply for the winch in is the problem, or I’ve had it happen where the tabs actually break on the solenoid
