Sport mode is the same a O/D off button or D in older models.

@bob, I sure as sh*t haven't read the manual cover to cover, but between that, google, this forum and the 10 billion trillion GB of stuff available on the internet, surely one can find an answer to almost any question
Oh I agree the answers can be found most of the time.. I'm just saying that I would prefer that if someone asks a question, that they don't get the "read the manual answer". Now a on page 132 of the version III of the 2015 manual it talks about this and from my experance it means this type answer would be the perfect reply.

In other words don't start off by trying to put the OP down..

I bet half or more of us need the correct answer also. But we don't even know that yet..

But on the other hand some of the posts on here are very entertaining and the fights are like watching a Presidential debate here in the USA where a Cuban Canadian American is running for office.

I have two cats and 8 chickens one that lives inside with us because she thinks she's a cat.. It's fun watching those three interact.

I use the + / - and or T/H all the time for that exact reason, even if I dont tow.
does this work with a chipped truck. I have mpt tunes.

I dont see why not, unless mpt changes the way Sport mode works for some weird reason!
