Just letting you all know, I have the 3000# Gorilla and the solenoid went out, so they sent me a new one at no charge. Then my free spool stopped working so Gorilla sent me a new winch, no charge. Well instead of taking the winch off, I decided to leave it on for a while. I used the winch for 4 months with the free spool not working. Now last week, I got into some NASTY stuff, thick, pasty mud, and the Gorilla finally gave in. It went to pieces. the motor is still working great, just the spool broke apart. It is time to put the new winch on now. Even still, i will order another Gorilla winch before I ever bought a Warn!
