Default tc/stabilitrak annoyances

it seems that gm corn holed some of us on this fun little thing. something i found out on the dyno a while back. just because you hold the button down doesn't mean it shuts off. in fact. it doesn't shut off. unless you pull the abs fuse to completely void it all together.

more annoyed by the truck tonight when i was playing around in the snow. completely ruined my fun all together.

more of a rant than anything else.

Yeah, I hate those 2 things more than you will ever know, lol I wish there was some way to disable it all together. I don't need either nor do I want either.

wiring a flip switch into the abs fuse {number 9 25 amp jobbie} is the only way i have found around it.

it's snowing here and i want to go get all sorts of shitty sideways in the snow. but nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo i can't do that.

Hell, I'm definitely looking into the abs fuse thing you mentioned, that would be a breeze to wire up and if it works, holy crap that"ll be good.

Anyone ever get a service stab/tc light when driving or getting on it? Ive had mine start flashing and wont go off till i turn off the truck and open the door and all resets. A buddy of mine has this same issue on his NNBS sierra as well
