I am looking for closeup pics of the power wagon winch, particularly of how one engages and disengages the clutch (specifically how one reaches it). Trying to replicate a system for the 1500. Thanks.

 

I know it is (or at least when I looked into a new PW in '07 it was) a Warn M12000. No modifications at all from the Warn factory ones. So you can bring a pic up of one from just about anywhere on the 'net.

The Warn "Hidden Hitch" is identical to what they used on the PW as well...

 

I am looking at the Warn VR1000. There is no hidden hitch for the 1500. With the grill being attached to the truck not to the hood, I am not sure how you reach in to disengage the system so you can freespool out.

 

Hidden hitch was made by Warn for the '02-'05 1500s, I installed one on a buddy's '05 probably sometime in late '08. I dunno why they didn't continue it at least for the '06+ 3rd Gens?

But holding one in my hand, it wouldn't be hard to fab one up...

 

Look at the 2nd picture down. The stock bumper must have a way to reach in and grab the freespool lever.
