    more on my tired 8274 (PICS FINALLY)

    I have a grounding question with my 1983 8274. Hope you are still working this site. I recently replaced my original solenoids with chinese after market models that mount the same as the vertical warn originals. I would have upgraded to a contactor but my female control housing extends well...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    I recently had a experience with my stock solenoids on my 8274 mounted on an 89 suburban, my hunting and fishing rig. I was driving down a dirt road on a fishing trip and my engine stopped and the check engine light came on. I got out, raised the hood to check the oil and the back of the...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    I have written Summit to see if they are going to restock the superwinch conductor once Westin Automotive gets up to speed with the buyout of Superwinch. Have not heard back yet (may never). I regard to the drain plug. After I get my gears back in, I am thinking about putting in a fill plug...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    I have converted one of my 8274s to an superwinch contactor and ordered a second one for my other 8274. I will have two complete stock four solenoid setups in a week or so. They are working perfectly fine (1978 and 1981 vintage) and still have all the motor wires attached (4 AWG) and mounting...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    I tried everything, even pulled with a come along. I took the brake apart with great effort (heat and three jaw puller worked very slowly). Everything is locked up and rusted. It is in such bad shape, I ordered a complete brake assembly for a total replacement.

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    Thank you - really enjoyed figuring it out. I changed the oil and generally tested everything. Found out, it won’t free spool anymore! I read an excellent thread on free spool problems a couple days ago, now can’t find it. Can anybody direct me to a trouble shooting thread on free spool problems?

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    After a lot of research and seeing a photo of a Superwinch contractor installed on an older 8472 with the deep metal socket receiver for the control, I decided there must be a way to make mine work. I ended up mounting the contractor in the very upper left hand corner. I had to cut off a...

    That would work and be inexpensive! Great idea - I may do that.

    Since you were able to mount the contractor dead center, You must have the models with the shallow plastic controller receiver. My older models have a metal controller socket that extend over 2 inches into the very center of the mounting cover. The contractor has clearance for maybe 3/8”. If...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    Thank you - that would work well on my suburban which has a fixed mount. On my F-250, the winch is mounted to a removable mount I fabricated to pin up to my Boss snowplow brackets. I seasonally change out the two attachments with quick connects on the 1/0 wire to the winch. I pretty much need...

    My WARN 8274 rebuild part 1.....

    I have been following this excellent thread for about 2 years. This question is regarding installing Superwinch contractors. I have two 8274s, one on each of my work 4x4s. Both are late 1970s models that I purchased used (nearly 40 years ago) but in excellent condition, I have always used...
