I'll keep you in mind.

 

That link is where I got the fab route from. Only issue I see with that is the winch being upside down not that it matters really for rate of pull and all but the clutch lever being exposed to stumps or rocks etc.

plus that's a Chevy. Our bumpers are a bit different. Wish the guy knew more or divulged who did it. I'd like to talk with them.

Perhaps you should buy an RC lift or an RC Winch mount. Try it out and see if you can get it to fail on your truck then comment.... until then you should rename your username on the Forum to Debbie D

I was thinking vs a rename just go to account settings and delete account. Do us all a favor. Go read some of his posts in any other thread. He's a "God" in his eyes. Knows all and does all better tha

Update:

Well, went and laid under the truck for a bit,

Pulled a tape from furthest front of frame inside-inside 28". However they did change how the bracketry attaches the steel bumper shells to the mourning brackets and that kills us for width in that gap behind the license plate. Now I see why that shop built the guys $1k mount and "inverted" (Top Gun) his winch.

So I'll go back to the drawing board. Try to figure out how to make something that fits in the space provided that the DIY guy can handle in a evening with cold beer and uncle Proto, or craftsman the choice is yours!

They distance from the inside of bumper behind the license plate to the pipe cross section support/cross member that is partially covered by the plastic skid plate may be what changed from MY 13-MY 14 but I can't confirm this. If you have one or access to one please get me this info! Other than the factory bumper brackets screwing us up the RC support brackets and the base would fit just not with that bracketry taking up 94.3% of the space in that gap.

I will find the solution!

This is the driver side looking from inside rail to outer edge. Shows the new style bracket

This is the passenger side from inside to outside.

Bolts on opposite side, (outside) Look exactly the same as the inside of driver side picture.

I would say this should be pretty close. I'd love to mount one

The RC hidden winch kit will ONLY FIT A 1500 truck! NOT a 2500! No room behind the bumper to put it on a 2500! I am an Engineer, & there is NO room on a 2500 truck, behind the ft bumper! Anyone know what brand the front winch kit is the guy had in this pic….? If anyone knows- PLEASE LET ME KNOW, As I like that set up.  Thanks.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
