While I agree that I too would enjoy more freedom (greater wheel slip) before the system kicks in, you can also look at this as "good training" that if you are getting a TCS interaction then you shouldn't be hammering the throttle so hard.

I used the jumper but spliced a toggle switch in place .... open switch at start up = normal TC .... closed switch at start up = disabled TC .... and if already disabled, a simple flip open / closed enabled TC as it was a momentary command.

Did NOT affect the ABS operation.

I have the 5 star Tunes with Revisions from Jacob and it actually turns everything off when hitting the button. I can punch it at 40 mph, both tires break loose and itll go to 50mph with the tires still crying.

I know TC and Advance Trac is suppose to help us in a Emergency but i want control of the truck, Not the damn computer telling me i can't do something if i decide to be a 16 year old kid and bust some donuts or have a friendly light to light race.

My truck wouldn't know what to do if it didn't go wide open throttle atleast 3 or 4 times a day. I think i have marked every intersection in town atleast twice with tire marks
