ProMark 10K Silverback Recovery Winch Featured in 4Wheel Drive Magazine
Watch for the ProMark Offroad 10,000 lb Silverback Series electric recovery winch in the September 2010 issue of 4Wheel Drive magazine! The ProMark 10K Jeep winch is mounted on a custom-build Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. Kenny Hauk, owner of River Raider Off-Road in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was hoping for Jeep to release a truck-bodied version of the JK. When that didn’t happen, Kenny decided to build his own.
After hours of custom work and modifications, the result was a Jeep build like no other, known as the Raider ST. The project included a number of aftermarket accessories, including the 10K Silverback winch from ProMark—a perfect complement to the silver-bodied Jeep. Kenny is planning to build several more of these JK trucks for River Raider customers.

Electric Winch Components
Electric Winch Components – Parts Diagram 1
Motor – In a typical setup, the winch motor runs off your vehicle’s battery. This battery power transfers from the winch motor to the gear train (also known as the drive train), which in turn causes the winch drum to rotate and the steel cable to spool in and out.Solenoid (also known as Contactor) – The solenoid controls the direction that the drum will rotate. The solenoid receives power from your vehicle’s battery and protects the motor from overheating.
An integrated solenoid is permanently mounted over the winch (such as the Silverback winch package), and a remote solenoid is mounted separately from the winch (such as the XT winch package).
Steel Cable – The steel cable is wrapped around the winch drum and fed through the roller fairlead on the front of the winch. Synthetic rope is an alternative winch cable preferred by some offroaders for its ease of handling and safety.
Roller Fairlead – The fairlead guides the steel cable during the winching process and prevents the cable from getting snagged in moving winch parts. An aluminum fairlead is recommended for use with synthetic cable.

Winch Drum – The winch drum is the spool wrapped with steel cable that rotates during the winching process and winds the cable in or out.Internal Brake – The brake is the mechanism located inside the winch drum that keeps the load from slipping.
Gear Train (also known as Drive Train) – The gear train converts the power from the winch motor into a pulling force. The gear ratio is a major factor in the line speed.
Freespool Clutch – The freespool clutch allows you to engage or disengage the drum from the gear train. The freespool (disengaged) position allows you to freely spool out the cable by hand. The engaged position allows you to power out the cable.

10K Silverback Recovery Winch Reviews
Here’s what some of our customers have to say about the 10,000 pound Silverback Recovery Winch.
Awesome winch!!!
“I bought this winch not too long ago and mounted it on an 05 Chevy Silverado ext cab… let me tell ya, the winch got me on my way after gettin stuck in some really slick mud down hill… also, just two days ago I pulled out an 05 Ford ext cab and an 08 Tacoma 4 door… Although this is my 1st winch, I would extremely recommend it to anybody as far as quality, price, and durability… Since I got my winch, I’m never scared to hit mud now by myself!!!!!!!!!!!”
- “Heavy Chevy”
All around good winch
“This winch is all around the best winch on the market because of the durability and the price. The wireless is a really good option for people that do a lot of things on their own……. Thanks again Gorilla [now ProMark Offroad]”
- “Jeepin’ 4 America”
Saved my buddy $400
“I have used this winch a few times. I have to admit that I am impressed. My buddy got his truck stuck in the mud trying to pull his dock up onto dry land for the winter. He was 40 miles from the nearest tow, so he called me. I winched him out in about 5 minutes and pulled his dock up in another 10 minutes. He still owes me a steak dinner. I would buy another one if this winch quit today. I have noticed some fluid seepage around the seals, but not major leaks.”

Keeps the good times rolling
“Purchased the 10K winch about a year ago and installed on my Explorer Sport 4X4. I’ve never been stuck since my truck is extremely capable, however have pulled many larger suv’s and trucks out of deep sand in dry river beds and out of deep mud in not so dry river beds. The Gorilla [now ProMark] is one bad ass winch. I would definitely recommend it. I’ve pulled a buried vehicle straight up and out from over 40 feet away no problems.”
- “El Coyote”
Excellent deal
“I recently bought your 10K pound winch and installed it on my 07 Rubicon. I do a lot of serious mud riding in Louisiana. I was running a warn 9K before this one and burnt the motor up in the warn but to be fair I’ve had the warn for near 3 years but still. $400 vs $1400 it’s an obvious choice. Honestly you have sold me on your winches for as long as you continue to make them. Just ordered a 3K for my Brute Force 750.”
- “07Rubi”
Triple A+ all the way
“Cannot say enough on this one, works great all the time. Would recommend it to everyone in any service that needs a strong winch.”
- “Jokerharleycyle”
Great truck winch! Pulls very hard!!
“I purchased this winch, and installed on a 1/2 ton Chevrolet “wood hauler” used mostly off road. I couldn’t be happier with the appearance, function, and price of this winch. It may not have the fastest line speed, but pulls great and no problems. The wireless remote and waterproof option is a nice bonus as well.”
