I recently talked to a fellow professional in my field of work, who uses his 2004? 2500HD for plowing in the winter. He said he's used his truck for plowing for 4 years now, and it hasn't hurt a thing, except he's replaced the power steering pump 3 times because of the strain of driving in 4WD in deep snow. I don't know if he's got the 8.1L or the 6.0L; has the pump been a problem area for GM?

He should consider upgrading if possible. My experience from operating HMMWVs in Norway with MATTRACKS installed was that the power steering pumps were failing due to increased strain in trying to turn those big rubber tank treads.

I assume that plowing in deep snow will have a similar effect even on conventional wheel systems.
