mite be battery on the way out or alternator to small or on its way out dont forget at 8000 pound load a highmount draws 450 amps

I would get your batteries load tested, any sparky or battery place can do it for you in a couple of minutes, you may find one or both is getting a little unhealthy.

The solenoids you use won't make any difference, they just let the current flow to the appropriate place. Other possibility is that the motor is nearly cooked and draws a truck load more current than it should at a given load, but get the batts checked first.

Yeah the winch has had it,I think you should sell it to me.

What batteries do you have, and how old are they?
