Traction control/stabilitrak

[ZeroGravity58]

Anyone know how to permanently or temporarily disable these. Went to the track last night. Kept turning them off but they kept coming back on. It would launch hard out of the hole and fall right on it's face with the traction light blinking even with them turned off. I'd have to hit the button again and finish the run. Still ran 118mph. Only had one good launch it didn't mess up on, cut a 1.65 60' and blew a intercooler boot off right at the 1/8 mile. Still coasted to a 12.6 @ 76. Happy with the power but disappointed with the runs, want to get this figured out.

If you hold the button for about 15 seconds does it disable both until you turn the key off?

It's keep telling me they are off, and the traction light is on the instrument cluster saying they are off. They aren't off tho, somehow it keeps pulling power. I just want a way to disable them that is a sure way

if long pressing the button doesn't work you could always unplug one of the abs wheel sensors. I think that would do it

There is no way in the ecm tuning or bcm tuning to disable them?

 

[2004LB7]

I would think BCM tuning. but haven't explored it in the ECM. being DRW mine doesn't have traction control but even then I don't remember seeing anything specific to traction control in the ECM or TCM tune. just torque limiters for gears. I think the request comes from the ABS and is sent to the TCM. you have to disable the ABS to stop the request. maybe pull the ABS fuse when racing

little more information in this thread

LMM: - Traction control

Does anyone know if you can disable the traction control and stabilitrack on a 07.5-10 3500HD duel real wheel truck? All the duel rear wheel LMM trucks I am seeing don't have the switch on the dash like my 09 2500HD does.

So if it is sent from the abs to the tcm, could I put a 3500 TCM tune in and not have it work? Or use a TCM tune from a older 06-07 that doesn't have it?

 

[2004LB7]

worth a try. I think the TCM tune has the capability already built in but never receives the command on those models. I think it's the ABS tune that is different

id grap a tech2 and try flashing the abs module with the 3500 OS. Otherwise you will most likely need to find the yaw sensor for stabilitrack and put it on a switch to turn on and off. i plan to do that with mine cause the damn thing kicks the system back on after 35mph. that doesnt work well when you are trying to pull a trailer through sand....

 

[ZeroGravity58]

Is the stabilitrack part of the abs system? I saw a couple things about putting a switch on the fused link or just pulling the abs fuse like stated above. I'm not very familiar with how these systems work as this is the first truck I've had to deal with it on

I think all the info you need is in this thread. look for the post by Ben. he added stabilitrack to his rig so he posts all the requirements and signal paths, software, etc needed. I think based on what he stats, you may be able to either reflash the ABS with a non stabilitrack abs software. I have my doubts it will work through as they appear to be different hardware. or possibly a better route is to add a switch to the two PWM signal wires from the ABS to the TCM that cause it to pull power.

A lot of exceptionally intelligent people posted in that thread ^^^^

I wonder what happened to HeyMcCall? That guy was something else. He and Ben were two whose intelligence I greatly admired.

too bad Ben doesn't post anything anymore. always found his input, ventures and knowledge inspiring. few others too but he seemed to have the most projects going on

I know. It disappoints the heck out of me, too. We lost so many over the years.
