Hey i picked up a winch tonight for free. apparently the solenoid is bad on it and it needs a new cable. its a Black mountain 8000lb winch. do u think it would worth it to get it fixed. if anyone knows anything about winches i would really like some input thanks

 

see what it costs to fix it. since it was free, It might be worth it.

 

No its crap, dont bother send it to me and Ill get rid of it for you

 

Check into the cost of the solenoid and see if there is another one can/will work on it (from Warn, Ramsey or another big name.) Get a new cable and run it. If there are continuing problems down the road then you can still use the solenoid and cable as spares/upgrades to the winch you would then have to buy.

 

I bought my replacement solenoids from the local NAPA store. Just make sure you get a continuous duty solenoid and you should be ok.
If they are the same as an old Warn, I will send you two for $15.00 + shipping.
