Warn winch wiring

My weekend project for the Super Duty is installing a Warn M12000 winch. Has anybody installed an electric winch on a Super Duty? Mine has dual batteries and dual alternators. I'm looking for tips on what to watch for, wire routing and connections and what anyone would have done differently on theirs.

I installed a MileMarker 12K hydraulic on my 94 Bronco and it was easy once I got the proper adapter.

Much appreciated!

jus tmake sure you mount the winch foot foward so it doesnt break into peices....and just run the wires to either battery.

make sure to run heavy enough cables, solder any connections and if possible use a circut protector. some company's say to run off the aux battery and not the main, i have never heard why.
