How to disable traction control
My 01 has traction control with a DBW throttle. I would like to disable the traction control all together. The button or switch on the dash resets to ON every time the truck starts up, so I would like to reverse that operation. I think SLP made something for the F-body that did this. Does anyone know how the traction control system operates and have any suggestions for defeating it?

I was told a long time ago that there's a procedure to disengage it. They said it was in the owner's manual, I think. I never did this to mine, but will try and find the post.

Procedure in owner's manual:
1. Park the vehicle with the ignition off and the transmission in PARK.
2. Turn the ignition to RUN; do not start the engine.
3. Apply the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal to the floor and then press the TAS on/off button and hold it down for at least six seconds.
4. Release the TAS button and both pedals.
5. Turn off the ignition and wait a few seconds.
The next time you start the vehicle, the TAS will not automatically come on. You can restore the automatic feature by using the same procedure.

Thank you very much!
