Plowing with super chip

Any body out there plowing with the 1704a superchip? If so what mode do you use for plowing?

If I were to do it, I would use the tow safe....


You are exerting many of the same loads you would under towing conditions

i dont think you need any extra power when plowing. my truck stock can push a pile of snow the size of a escort with power to spare. a couple of times i have given i to much go pedal and had my truck slidding sideways while plowing.

Ok, anti-tuner opinions aside =o)

Use tow mode, you can use ECON if you want, but I'd recommend gauges if you're gonna use performance.
