Im sure it would be fine as long as its big enough to handlle the 16.5's pulling power. I myself have black/grey 3/8's synthetic rope from viking on my 9k warn and love it. I do know my 3/8's rope is rated at 17,900lbs where the 3/8's cable was only rated at 12k.

The olympus is 5/8"x100ft rated at 25,000lbf,,,the line that came with the 16.5ti is 7/16"x90 ft rated at 16,500.

I figure this is the best place to ask,,,is it possible to use the synthetic rope from an Olympus winch on the 16.5ti? I just purchased a 16.5ti and would prefer to use synthetic line, and black synthetic goes with my color scheme better,,lol

No, the rope for the Olympus won't work on the 16.5ti.

soooo,,,do you have any suggestions for synthetic on a 16.5ti?

Hmm ... it sounds like there is definitely something going on that isn't right. Please give our Customer Service Specialists a call at 800-543-9276. They should be able to help you get to root cause here. That shouldn't be happening.

Thanks, my dealer keeps giving me new ones. He thinks my locker is causing the problem, too much traction. I will call the number and see if they can help

Not really. Warn Industries doesn't offer a synthetic rope that'll work for the 16.5ti. We only pull test our ropes on our winches, so I can really only comment on our products.

Check out our VR10000 or VR12000; both would be a good winch that won't break the bank.
