Can you take a listen and let me know if I have a problem? It's brand new, just installed it last night. It made this sound with no stress on the motor when I spolled it up initially. I took it outside to see what it would do under stess and it made the same noise. I thought it should only make a wining electrical motor noise but it's making a vibrating clunking noise, is this normal? I don't want to get stuck on a trail with a faulty unit.

Winch sounds wrong? - YouTube

 

Sounds pretty normal to me

 

You should be okay. My warn winch sounds pretty much the same.

 

Oh good, thanks a lot guys! I was worried, but never had one before so didn't know. Time to go get stuck!

 

Is that cable or synthetic line?

 

Its Synthetic

 

Sounds normal to me!

 

That's the sound of self recovery or the onset of a 6 pack from a stuck buddy.

 

Sounds good to me

 

My xrc 8 sounds the exact same. I've ran it like that for over a year and a half
