I recently added a Warn m8000 to my rig and I've read the manual and a lot of stuff online but what seems to be missing in all this info is what gear you should be in when recovering another vehicle. Do you want to be in drive with the foot on the brake (or ebrake on), or in Park? I really think being in park would not be the wisest choice and would be hard on the tranny.

Any insight?
