You can "disable" it, but it reinitializes after 35mph so if your spinning wheels get that fast then it cuts in.

Correct, my 2011 4x4 was a blast in the snow up in AK... Hold the button for 5-10 seconds and it would ding at you that stability control is off. They go do donuts at will and rooster tail powder everywhere

So far my 2015 can spin all you want if you can actually make it slid it down a red clay hill the other day after a rain shower (I.e. Slick as hell) and dropped it in 4hi and had 4 red rooster tails the Stabilitrack did kick in eventually but it took a very long time. I was able to get back into good gravel and out of the predicament by then. I run Nitto Terra Grap G2's on it, I don't know in that stuff that an M/T will really help. It clogs up tractor tires.

Yeah- I had the 10 second off button om my 2011, too. It toned down the nannies like 60%, but I never felt in total control. Apparently the only real solution is to disable a wheel sensor at will...........

I just hold mine down for unti the stablictrac light somes on. If I could figure out how to post viedos, I would post one of it spinning the tires past 130mph in the rain from a dig.

I talked to a tuner today and they can't turn any of this bullshit off. It's controlled by the BCM i think he said. Is there any body on here that can tweak a BCM to turn off the Stabilitrack, Yaw, and traction control?
