Hi Norm,
That is the plug setup I have. I did run a #12 wire from the power distribution box to the proper terminal in the truck plug when I wired it, for the eventual use of some accessory. My winch is a Ramsey 8000 pound winch, mounted in a setup to go into the receiver of my truck. I have not connected it to my present truck yet, but in my 2 prior trucks I ran welder cable from the battery and used welder disconnects to attach the cables. It does not seem that the #12 wire in my harness would power the winch, and the plug will not accept anything any larger. I plan to mount the winch to the trailer with a receiver also, it is the powering of it that I am investivating. I may contact Ramsey and see what size wire they reccomend at that distance. I will be very suprised if they come back with #12 or smaller. Rumning the winch on too small a wire is a sure recipe for disaster. Burn up my winch and or my truck, neither very appealing results.
Tim
