On Page 164 of this post you mention thermal protection circuit on the Warn motor.
The 8274 I am rebuilding came with a new motor with no markings but it has these two small wires coming out the bottom which I assume are the thermal protection circuit.
How did you wire this to the solenoid box? I am having a hard time finding any info online. The motor is definitely older than the one you have posted here as the grommet is a different design.
I don't have a specific diagram, but it goes like this. The thermal protection circuit is normally closed, and opens when the motor gets too hot (thermal event). You wire this switch in line with the black pin in this diagram, so that your control's black pin has to go through the thermal protection circuit. In case of a thermal event, the circuit opens, preventing you from powering the winch in or out. Make sense?
saw your pic above (tired to quote that...hope it works post # 3831 above). Anyway what was the logic on using the metal frame on the floorboard for your rear bead area. I presume the floor (wood) attaches to that...etc. What was the driver to approach it that way? I'm looking to do something similar on my truck (install a wood floor) and then attach various things to the wood..etc. Also I noted you were running what looks like a 90' degree fitting on your ps resivor....what size is that, I have a similar ps resivor and I want to do a better job on venting it (on the vent hole / cap). thanks
At some point I want some type of storage in the rear bed and a mount for a refrigerator / cooler an dlikely will try to cram an air compressor in the area too. thought about using 3/4 marine plywood as the base for this and the metal frame idea looks good to have a good way in which to gain access to the bottom of the flywood floor, obviously I want to limit any holes to be drilled in the floor board.
PS fitting is -10 AN iirc. Go to pscmotorsports and look at their low pressure slip fittings for return lines, that's what you're looking for.
When I built this rev of the sleeping platform, i wanted to limit the holes in the floor, so I built the metal frame. I had 1x1 box tubing available, so that's what I used. The metal frame attaches to the seat belt bolts up front, then one of the two small holes in the back near the sill.
On top of the 1x1 frame is 3/4 regular ply. Doesn't need to be marine ply unless you take your truck swimming with you, something i try to avoid.
The issues I have with this setup::
1. Too much vertical height is wasted, which is important if you want to sleep in the truck. It's tight for me.
2. The system has to be disassembled to remove it from the truck. For me, this means taking the drawers out, then the top off of the box in the truck, then the metal screws holding the ply to the metal frame, then the metal frame itself.
3. No access to the rear quarter panels.
The things I like:
1. Fridge is super secure and in a good place for access
2. The camp kitchen's folding legs kick ASS
3. Keeps stuff secure
I'm going to come up with a new system after i get done with everything else. Just not sure what it looks like yet.
