not sure if you already figured this out or not - but all HMMWV winches I have ever seen are 24 VDC not 12 VDC (like your jeep). So you may have to make sure you put a 12 VDC motor on it... Just my .02 cents...

its a 12 volt

they do that so there is higher amperage since a diesel uses compression to ignite fuel so it needs the extra amperage for the starter to over come the compression since compression ratios in diesels are 17:1 - 25:1

HMMWV use a 24 volt system......Some times people interchange the word Hummer and HMMWV.......electrical system is just one of the many differences between the two.

Is it a Warn or MileMarker....If it is a Warn, it is completely rebuildable, and should be too hard to find parts.
If you have trouble finding parts, let me know, I might be able help.

So the verdict is....
You have a winch (12 or 24VDC) but either way, you dont have any money to rebulid it? Got the picture...

BTW: I do have a series 12 motor in my tool box, it's right next to the WARN controller lead that I gave to FastTRX for free last week - because I just dont run a WARN at the moment (great winch though). Ya know, if you would have not been such a dork, I would have just given ya a new motor for free - unfortunaly I had to put a comment out there to figure out what you were runn'in and ya tried to slam me - good job!

Well, I'm real tired of trying to help out fools like you. I just got done buying a winch for DJ and gave him the bumper I won in the drawing at the badlands and welded it on his ride for him and did the fab work to make it fit - then offered my garage and all my time and effort to get the motor swapped out that got "hydro-stupid" broken at Lochmundy (yep, you were there). And my garage is still a wreck (for me to clean because I got his XJ running, and he never came back to clean it)... NOW YOU... Well, buddy - believe me when I say, I'm tired of helping out people that want to be dicks. And yes, I have the motor you need - and yes I spent over $400 to help DJ get his XJ back on the road, and he can not even show up to clean my garage (I dont even want the cash back, how about just clean up the mess)... And again - now you... Well, bud - you should ask yourself just who your trying to 'school' before you go schooling - I'm a degreed Mechanical Engineer who works at HUMMER, and yes MOST of the winches I see on the HMMWV line are 24VDC, also at one time I was an ASE certified mechanic prior to finishing my ME degree. Good luck finding your motor...

Duff...I need a brake job done on my XJ. While you're at it can you just swap the axles while you're under there. Oh BTW you have to buy the axles...I have no money. Ohh and can I just have your Jeep? Thanks pal! :)

i was not trying to school you or anything i was just trying say it was a hummer not a hmmwv and added the rest so everyone else knew the difference
i know that your a good guy and you let dj use your garage thats a great thing to do if i had to garage space and tools i would do the same like i said im sorry i tried to explain the difference so others could see
