Welcome WARN. I just noticed the change when I logged on moments ago.

If anyone from WARN is checking this, can you give some details on the new winches that have just been released (I think the VR line)? What changes are there, compared to the M series, that allows the lower prices?

We're glad to be able to further sponsor this great forum!

As to the VR lineup: These are different than the M-series. They have different motors, different remotes, different finishes, and use solenoids instead of contactors. (The new Ultimate Performance, Heavyweight, and most of the Premiuim line use contactor control now). These changes allow for a lower price point.

I do want to note that these winches are designed, engineered, tested, and assembled here in Clackamas, Oregon, too.

Again, we're glad to be able to sponsor the Full Size forum! We do make a full lineup of hubs, bumpers/mounting systems, and winches for full-size vehicles, too, so be sure to check out www.WARN.com for your full-size truck needs.

PS if you see Scoot with the Rover around the Warn compound tell him Alex says hi.

Warn, thanks for sponsoring! I bought a set of your Premium Manual Hubs for my Scout II recently (undergoing 4X4 manual tranny conversion and restoration).

I have the Warn Powerplant. After several light uses over a year period, the thermal sensor went bad. It left my buddy in a real fix, his rig being inverted. We got the rigging configured, pushed the button and nothing.

Apparently the thermal sensor was a very common problem with the early powerplants. Warn even has a "kit" with instructions to fix it. They quickly sold me the new sensor, so now my $1500 winch works properly.
