advance trac ?

[dcarr]

does anyone know how to completely turn off the traction control system. tried to do a little wheeling and it kept turning back on.

There should be a button on the dash you can press(may need to hold it in a few seconds).

is that how you turn it all the way off???

There should be a button on the dash you can press(may need to hold it in a few seconds).

adding to note: For the 04, you'll need to hold it down like 10secs. It will then blink.. Now it is off until the engine is turned off.

Even doing the hold it till it blinks its still never off completely. and once you hit 40 mph it comes back on as normal

 

[treycool94]

but under 40 its totally off

why would it matter if its on after 40mph when you wheel you shouldnt be going that fast in the first place unless you go to the dunes

I dont think you can. If I remember correctly there was a company in cali that did a 14" lift on an EL from whiplash suspensions. I called them to see how they adapted it and he said that he had to take off the lift bc the advanced trac kept breaking the axles or the half shafts (cant remember) and that they couldnt shut it off.

Ok just called them again. It was a one off kit that they built. Every time they would turn the corner the half shafts would snap. The tried to disconnect it but there was no way. They make trucks for sema so these guys know there **** and alot of people. His words were "no suspension company is gonna touch the 3rd gens"
Here are the pics of it

That's unfortunate. That truck is beautiful.

Does this effect the abs system?
Do you end up with a flashing message onthe display the entire time the fuses are pulled?

Pull fuse 36

ABS Light will be on
Traction Control light will be on steady
E-Brake light will be on

You can spin and slide sideways just like the old days.

Add a toggle switch inside the cab connected to fuse 36 if you just want to turn it off now and again.
