Driver Recovery Products LD17-PRO Electric Heavy Duty Recovery Winch - 17,000 lbs. Capacity - Wired Remote Control

So far so good. Received winch in timely matter. FedEx wasn't happy about 135 lbs. Winch was installed on 2003 GMC Sierra 3500 pickup. Did require some modifications to truck to accommodate this winch mounted behind bumper. Made a custom winch mount to fit the dimensions of this winch. Winch is constructed of steel housings for motor and gear box with aluminum end cover plates and aluminum base mount plate. The base has 4 -12 mm mount holes and 4 - 10 mm mount holes. The 4 - 12 mm bolts are secured with 4 square nuts that fit in slots in the base. The 4 - 10 mm bolts are screwed directly into the aluminum base. I torqued the 12 mm bolts to 80 ft lbs and the 10 mm to only about 35 ft lbs because they screwed directly into aluminum housing. I found I had to remove one of the long roller fairlead rollers so I could get winch cable through it. The wire rope clamp was too large to fit through the fairlead. After installation I did do a drag test where I pulled cable out leaving 8 wraps on drum and then proceeded to do a dead pull of the 8000 plus pound truck. It did pull the truck with little effort from the 1st wrap on drum to 3rd wrap on drum. Bye the 4 wrap it was beginning to strain a little. I was impressed with the pull and the custom mount. The handheld remote seemed a little lite weight and I wonder if it is water proof. It did work well.

This is the second one I bought. Ive been impressed with both of them. I installed the first one on a 93 k1500. The second one went on a 98 crew cab c2500. This thing is a beast!!! I had big brush guards/bumpers on both trucks. They installed easily within 30 minutes. The second one I bought had a cracked housing. It was the plastic housing for the solenoid. I contacted three manufacturer, they paid for shipping to send the winch back and shipped me a new one at no cost. No complaints what so ever. For the price you can't beat it!!

the controller plug broke causing a fried solenoid in the winch so it would not work. we called mixed wholesalers where it is sold from. they gave me a run around did not answer the phone, on email said they had phone issues. After a week of communications they have no parts for me then told me to buy another one. I am mad!! this winch has 3 hours of use and now it is a door stop only!!

Love the winch it works just like it should. I mounted it on my gooseneck trailer and use it to move broken down vehicle's. It has pulled pretty heavy diesel trucks up that we're completely dead and even an f-450 dump truck some I'm pretty happy with it.

Winch performs great ( after I took it apart and fixed it) it came new in the package but when I hooked it to power it ran but would not engage the wire spool. The mfg. paper work is no help at all it does show all the parts but it says if when engaged it does not work take to an authorized repairman, ok but it does not tell you where these repairmen are located or give any contact information. So out of desperation I open up the winch to see if I could see what was wrong. Well behold the spider gear (listed as sun gear on the parts list) was installed backward. I removed it and reinstalled it correctly and the winch works great. Plenty of power and other than having to fix it I am happy with it.

It’s mighty.........mighty strong, mighty rugged, and mighty heavy!

Very estrogen

Finally got it installed doesn't turn on need to figure out why.
