Muddoggie,
What did you do to replace that copper connector? Can you get a new one anywhere?

don't buy the superwinch. Several people I know have had nothing but trouble with the rocker switch.
I personally have a warn 2000. You will spend a little more on the warn but it is worth it. If you want the best get a ramsey 2500 it comes with a wireless remote and a mounted toggle switch control. It pulls more and is faster than either the superwinch or warn and draws less amps than either. Take a look at ramsey's internet site for spec. and comparisons. You should be able to get a ramsey for $400.00 PLUS $50.00 for Mounting plate. check it out. (www.ramsey.com)

I just installed my Ramsey and mount on my 700 last week. $400 for the winch from Northern Tool and $55 for the mount directly from Ramsey. Great setup. Choice of the wireless remote or the mounted toggle switch! I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Muddoggie,
I found the copper connectors at a hardware store. I put some JB weld inside and attached them. It worked fine. Theanks for the info on stretching the cable.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]Dillas23: sorry It taking so long to reply to your question!
As for replacment of copper end./(I did not replace it) the cable end fit into the winch housing. (Just make sure that you tighten the allen screw very snug, before installing your replacement cable.)<u>Text</u>TextEnjoy your winch...Jb

Dillis 23, what you are looking for is a cable lock, you can get them from the same place you got the cable. Hope this helps.

you can get the warn 1500 for about 140.00 dollars and i say it would do the job cause hope fully your not pulling cars out of holes. (but you can with a big one)

Ok, here's an update. I did buy the Warn 2500 and was wiring it up today. I was wondering how you guys connected the power to the winch. Is it ok to run power right from the battery? (No fuse)

Is the A2000 easy to disassemble? I royally screwed up my cable. It got caught on the side of the drum while winching at an angle. Basically it ate through the cable. Should I just send it into Warn?

The cables are really easy to change. Did you screw up the drum? I have had to replace my cable at least once every year. I do alot of snow plowing, and the angle is just to great and it cuts rigt thru the cable. Even with roller fairlead, it still cuts thru.
