Re: novice question on getting a stuck vehicle out
Whichever one it takes. Usually, 4HI and 1st is a good choice, but be ready
to go into 4LO.

Re: novice question on getting a stuck vehicle out
I agree with everything that Jeff said, but I would like to add that when
pulling or pushing out a stuck vehicle, you should be in 4-LO.

Re: novice question on getting a stuck vehicle out
Hi Jeff:
Why 4-HI? I would think that the recovery vehicle should be in 4-LO, which
would give the recovery vehicle a LOT more torque or "pulling power>"
