Without a doubt, this is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. All I can say is that if you deal with them, after reading this thread, you deserve everything you get.

Maybe you will be lucky? Hopefully so. Apparently H2Girl was lucky???

The pricing is exceptional. But, when I called and talked to the head man at gowarn, he informed me in no uncertain terms that that they really couldn't care less about any of my "problems" with 9.5 Warn winch because they only made a profit of about $50 on it. Quoting: "What do you expect from us? We only make 50 bucks on the deal!"

Maybe this type of attitude is acceptable to you, if so, by all means jump right in and order it from them. Warn Inc. told me after I bought the winch that www.gowarn.com (aka internet pioneering) is not an authorized WARN dealer. All I know is that they did NOTHING to help me. They were rude, didn't return calls as promised and basically didn't care that the winch they shipped to me was not functional or complete. They even charged me for "free" shipping... After a lot of effort on my part (several trips to the nearest authorized dealer) I finally have a winch that does function. No thanks at all to gowarn though!

Call the folks at Warn Inc. and ask them about the 9.5ti winch, and this unauthorized dealer. Then figure out how much horrible service is worth and then decide whether or not you feel lucky.

I hope that H2Daddy never finds out that he has voided his warranty by taking his winch apart... Of course, with any "luck" the 90-day warranty will never be needed?

SJ you are exactly 100% correct! The snatch points lessons the power/force while geometricly increasing the leverage. They are considered fulcrum points and nothing more!

He was joking andkon. Please go back to your thread or I will send you to bed without dinner. That was a joke, too. Only the latter part, though. Seriously, I would pay heed to Alec's earlier advice to you about staying on your thread unless you want to be squelched.

On the winch front, the winch appears to work, both reeling in and out, and when they called back they acknowledged they sent the wrong one, and had sent the kit to make it a QuickConnect along with the winch (Peter didn't open everything b/c he thought he was sending it back). They offered to walk Peter through the process of adding the QC. So, things have improved. They did seem responsive once they called back, but it's more than a bit nerve-wracking when it doesn't seem like they'll get back to you and you have the wrong winch in hand. We'll let you know how things go on the install and a after a true tryout.

They told us the QC 9.5 will not be out for a few weeks which we have yet to verify elsewhere.

Talked to the red letter warn dealer today & need to call back this afternoon for more details but:

Warn doesn't support the drilling of the vertical hole in the receiver for the 9.5ti. Thus, the dealer probably won't do the drill for liability issues. As of yet, there isn't a horizontal mount out yet for the H2. I'm not sure if the XD9000i has the horizontal pin or not. I know GM supports one of the warn winches but don't really know how it is attached. If anyone could post, that would help me out.

And I thought getting stuck sucks...

Hey Skulz,
Tell your dealer to get with the program. The 9.5 Ti has been out. Here's the link for you priced at $957 for the winch and multimount and $109.95 for the 20' wiring for the rearhttp://www.gowarn.com/cbSearch.asp?Product_ID=WAR65735

Skulz-
While Big Z tries to futher complicate your decision , with more choices, I recommend not sweating the small stuff. Winching is not a simple or neccessarily safe operation, if the winch is not just for show and you intend to use it you should also feel capable enough to make the alterations yourself. Please read all the threads on setting up a winch in this forum . Everything you need to know is here at least twice. All multimounts for H2's need to be set up with the vert pin. Take the plunge.

H2Girl, thanks for the link. I'll bring it up with the dealer.

Still, the lady said they weren't out from warn yet. I'm going by their shop later this afternoon to check let them see the H2 to get a feel for installation.
