Well i got the winch free to use for mocking up a bumper. I havent tried to hook it up yet. I have everything that goes with it. Im asuming its pretty old because the serial # starts with 22???? .i dont know much about winches but have bought and installed two warns before..Should i try to rebuild?

HS00XJ

Anybody ever rebuild a warn?

JeepingDan

Have you tried it?

JeepingDan

See if it works is what I mean.

I'd start by hooking it up to see if it works...

If it doesn't I can almost guarantee the only thing wrong with it is the solenoid control box. You can replace the solenoids for under $100.

If you don't want to I'll give ya 50 bucks for it.

Here is what appears to be a good write-up on a rebuild.

Bring a Jeep battery inside.

HS00XJ

yeah the solenoids look pretty bad and all the connections are corroded

HS00XJ

Good idea I've got a extra battery in the garage

I called warn the guy said I need to switch from a three wire to a 5 wire hook up and buy a new controller that sounds expensive do I really need to do this? I would also like the wire it to in cab switch

Lowrange2

He wants you to buy a new control pack and remote.

Just replace the solenoids if it needs it.

HS00XJ

Ok thanks..ill try it tommorrow..

Lowrange2

OR you can buy this for 60 bucks and not fool with it.

When you get it let me know how it is. I might buy one too.

HS00XJ
