Okay so when I built my truck I bought 2 champion winches from costco. They seem to have good motors but boths times i went to use them last year, the cable pulled right out of the crimped end, and I wasn't even spooled out all the way. So I am going to be going to NortherMetalic to get new ends put on then rebolt them to my winch, any suggestions on what ends to put on or how to attach it to the drum so this never happens again, thanks.

this has happend to me before. the cable attaches up the side of the drum and the cable can run over its end and shear the bolt. I drilled and tapped a new hole right on the drum

Same thing happened to me... crimped the second one and it worked till I stalled it ...then it let go!
