Warn Series 15 hyd. winch

I want to install a Warn Series 15 hydraulic winch on my 05 F-250 4X4 PSD. I have the PTO port on my TorqShift trans. I spoke with a Tow Truck outfitter who said he's had failures on the PTO w/TorqShift equipped tow trucks and recommended a Deweeze hydraulic pump which drives off the Power Stroke.

Anybody have any feedback and/or experience with this?

I want the hydraulic winch for long pulls and fast line speed.

Thanks!

I've read about failures with ZF manual trannies, but from what I hear, it is b/c the PTO is left in gear @ idle when not in use, and it overheats slowly. After that, I'm not sure ever heard of a torqshift tranny unless that is the new 5spd HD automatic..
