Whats the difference between the WARN 9.5cti or WARN 9.5ti? I was just looking on Quadratec and they are the same price, I prefer the black paint on the WARN 9.5cti.
They look pretty much the same size but does anyone know if the contactor one will fit in the AEV bumper?

Which one would you go for?

Not positive, but I have a Warn 9.5ti, and I think the cti has a module in the remote that shows temps of the selenoid. As far as I can tell they are the same size and the mounting would be the standard Warn mounting.

 

Even though there is not much on the web about Warn's new 9.5cti, I ordered one as I'm hoping it's an updated 9.5ti. Plus, I like the black color. For my application, the winch will be seen more than used. Hopefully the "c" in cti means the power relay is more robust and can handle more power, thus being called a contactor instead of a relay. A contactor is basically a large relay although there is some overlap in this definition. Some contactors have other advantages such as repairability and longer life expectancy due to designs that limit the amount of arching across the contacts. Maybe Warn just needed a new catch to their marketing scheme and is calling their relay a contactor on their new black 9.5ti. Anyway, it sucked me in.

 

I thought it stood for competition and it just has a faster pull speed. But I could just be making that up.

 

What I found on the Warn 9.5CTI - looks like it was released in Nov 2010. and just a blurb on the new winch. IMHO, I would go with the CTI if they are the same price. I would think the 9.5cti would fit the AEV front bumper.
