I run stock, you do not need extra power to plow.

Snow Tune

Spartan recommended to me to run the 210tow tune while plowing as the tune increases line pressure. Going from Drive to Reverse is faster in this tune. The additional line pressure can only help keep the trans alive while stressing it during plowing.

Plus the 210tow has all of safety stuff just like stock.

My only issue is how much power and torque can the transfer case handle but it seems that many run their truck in 4x4 when running high hp tune launches so I guess the transfer case should easily handle the 210tow tune.
