Warn will have a specs sheet for that specific winch on their website.


Well, I just looked, and all it shows is a colored slider with an arrow somewhere between good and best.

I was worried about the same thing. That’s why I got the 9.5 Ti, you can’t burn them up. The 8000M is a good winch and it depends how hard it is working. I think it is kind of like breaks. You need to give them a chance to cool. The harder it is working the longer the cool period. I hope this help, but there is no certain amount of time.

Under load a winch can pull anywhere from 200 to 400 amps depending on the load so with that in mind your alternator can't keep up so watch your battery
