You cannot use the stock switch to activate the relay. I used a hidden rocker switch.

I don't have that problem at all. As long as I see traction and stabilitrac off, i can step the back out on the street without stabilitrac kicking in. I did hear that it acts up on the dyno though and with smaller drag radials on the back too. I pulled the fuse when i had the DRs on cause someone told me too. Not sure what would have happened if i wouldn't have pulled the fuse.


Niff, did you pull your fuse when you had the DRs on it or Sheltons tune solved that problem?

I had the issue, posted in here, on the efilive forum, had my own thread here. I thought I was going crazy, but its good to see I am not the only one that had this problem. I have the 4 speed. It seems to be a minimal to mild wheel spin. Since I put the converter in, I can roast the tires, I don't think it can keep it from spinning once you get past a certain point.

Yeah +2 on that.

My bud's 4.8 can get all kinds of snakey...My truck however doesn't want to kick out at all unless I really push it. Since the Diablo Update its much better...but its still not where I want it.

I dont have my tune on this pc but I think it disables the BTM (brake torque management). I could power brake it and spin before with the BTM set to disable, but as soon as I let off the brake, it would still kick in and apply brakes.

It's TCS off disables BTM. On my tahoe that was the limiting factor, with the TCS on it kicks in...but not like factory as I have tuned it out some, with TCS off I can go out and play in the snow, drifting, donuts, etc.
