So after waiting a week from picking up the truck the winch arrived at the dealership. They were quick to get my truck in and get the winch installed. After getting home with the truck I decided to check out and get familiar with the winch controls. First thing I noticed was how difficult it was to turn the clutch lever. So I looked close at it and it is rubbing against the bumper.
After getting the clutch disengaged I started to pull out the line it would pull easy, then pull hard, then easy again for about 6 foot of line then it stopped completely, so I re-engaged the clutch and ran it back in with the motor. Then I disengaged the clutch and I was able to pull tall out by hand. That’s when I noticed that the line had a big snag in it.
I then ran it all back in and started to look over the install job from under the truck. That’s when I noticed why the line was jammed and snagged.
Are the bolts supposed to be that long? Is something installed wrong?
Then I looked at where the power wires go.
It looks like they didn’t even try to make it look like a factory wired part. The ground wire can actually hit the ac compressor. WTF.
I will be returning to the dealership tomorrow morning to show them. I think I will just have them order me a new line but I will fix the other issues. They have shown me their skill level.
