thanks for all the input guys.. i know since this is a 94.. this is not a new battery at all... and i never did check it before i installed the winch... and it was running while i was using it... as for the AWD i hope your right about having to have a good battery.. i will check and keep you all posted

 

so i went to the store and had the battery load tested and it was junk.. so hopfully that was the problem...

 

Keep us posted Tim. And don't forget, new batteries need to be charged even if it's already supposed to be fully charged.
