[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3395258, member: 7248"] I haven't tried this yet, but this is what the internet says about disabling the traction control stuff. The first way is to simply push the ESC button on the center console once, the second way is to push it for seven seconds or simply engage 4lo and the third... well, let's just say that the third is for serious professionals who know what they're doing and want the electronic stability control system permanently off. This is apparently called “The steering dance”: 1. Verify that the automatic transmission selector is in the “Park” position, and that a manual transmission is in neutral gear. 2. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position and ensure parking brake is firmly set. 3. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the wheels are pointed straight ahead. 4. Turn ignition on (and optionally start engine to make turning the wheel easier – will work with or without engine running) and wait approximately five (5) seconds for the system bulb check to complete. 5. Turn the steering wheel one-half turn to the right (clockwise). 6. Press and hold the “ESP OFF” button for 7 seconds exactly then release and wait for chime. 7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, then continue turning the steering wheel one-half turn to the left (counter clockwise). 8. Press and hold the “ESP OFF” button for 7 seconds exactly, release and wait for chime. 9. Turn the steering wheel back to center. 10. Press and hold the “ESP OFF” button for 7 seconds, release and wait for chime. 11. Cycle the ignition switch to the “OFF” position. [/QUOTE]
