Don't ever let anyone tell ya a MileMarker will pull forever! I witnessed one
quit back in July while winching my Hummer (with a snatch block) up a hill.
They
DO overheat as well as any Warn or Ramsey. I woulda never believed it if I
hadn't have seen it with my own eyes.

REPLY:
1)Kevin did the winch stall or was it the motor on the winching rig that
overheated and wouldnt go anymore?
2) Did you overweigh the winch? How much does a hummer weigh?

I ask as I have witnessed several sever pulls and never noticed a bit of
overheating problems.
3)Was the winch defective..i would have sent it back to the company and
asked for a new one.
4) What was your Hummer doing at the bottum of the hill?..had to ask..:-)
