[75R20]

Granted the use is different (4x4winch cable) but the solution may be similer. When we use cable on a winch...Before it goes on the drum it needs to be "conditioned" for use. The plan is to soak the cable in Diesel fuel for 48 hours, and then let it drain for the same amount of time. after the cable is installed it is stretched and allowed to stay in a loaded state of 48/72 hours with re-tensioning as needed. Yearly maintinence is to remove the cable and soak it again in diesel fuel to lubricate it again. Thank god we are all using amsteel blue or other ropes like that on our winches now.
