They do restrict a bit of airflow to the radiator for sure.
From standard Warn rate them at 8000lbs and always recommend a double line pull, but we are putting bigger motors and other mods to strengthen them up and give much more power.
Not sure what sort of current they would draw, all depends on which motor is used but they use the same style motor as is found on low mount winches.
