I have been on and off with the power mode on the tranny. I wonder how often other Vxers use their power button.
Or maybe I just have too much time on my hand

From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

Just about always on.

on...yeah, definitely on. runs better on...gotta watch Wapner now.
Super VXer
Never on.
.
I feel the characteristics of the engine, trans ratios, and low gearing are complemented by the 'quick' shifts that take place when left in the normal ('Power Off ?) mode.
.
Plus, the trans is quick to downshift (and keep the engine in the 'sweet' spot) when in either mode.

I keep mine on all the time and i find that i get 30-40 more miles out of a tank of gas.

Power Mode turns off???
I too found a mpg increase in power mode. Never run without it.

I found with the supercharger under WOT, I'll hit the rev limiter between gear changes, so I tend to turn it off now . . .
Super VXer
For anyone/everyone that likes to rev your VX .......
.
check out the power characteristics (chart) of the Isu 3.5 engine ....
.
*SCRATCH THAT* ..... I don't know what I was looking at ...... maybe the torque chart ......... the graph shows a linear horsepower increase ........ no abrubt 'sign-off' .........

the only time i turn off the power mode is extended highway runs. around the city, power mode is always on.
Super VXer
City on, Freeway off is pretty much how I have been doing it. I will slap it in power mode knowing I'll be doing some fast passes though. I intend to drive VX for 3 tanks on Power mode only, then the same with it off to see about the mileage people have been reporting.
Super VXer
Power mode on 24/7!! Never checked to see if there is a difference on mpg between on or off. Good to know some of you are getting better mileage on Power Mode!!! Thanks for sharing!
