Engine>Torque Management>General - Right side you'll see Traction Control System TCS Method "Spark" "Fuel" "ETC" disable all three of these and it will turn traction control off in the tune without having to push the button.

That has nothing to do with Stabilitrak. Traction Control is a whole different system. Stabilitrak utilizes the Fulltime 4x4 or AWD transfercases and manipulates the brakes to ensure what it thinks is maximum power to each wheel without slipping. Disabling Throttle Control doesn't help you if you're at WOT with all 4 brakes locked up. Stabilitrak is the grinding/moaning hydraulic vibration from the ABS pumps you feel in the floor when you have your foot on the gas and are going nowhere.

The BCM also does not control Stabilitrak- Stabilitrak utilizes it's own module (paired to the TCCM) in conjunction with the ABS module. The only way to actually kill it is to physically remove power from the transfer case control module (which turns on warning lights) via means of pulling the 30A fuse or putting a relay in the power wire (as I recall it's a 12GA Orange under the main fuse panel).

My bad I was thinking of traction control that goes off first when you press the button then stability am after holding it for a second. My bad.

I also have problems w Stabilitrak at the track. I launch in 4wd with the Stabilitrak turned off by holding the button for 7 seconds. And it still flashes the traction control light when all four tires spin. I read the only real way to keep it from activating is to pull the fuses.

I remember mike @ new era was going to make up a "disable switch" at some point, but abandoned the idea. I still want to make one myself. Just never enough time.

Pull the fuses. Only way to completely disable it. It can't be tuned out and pressing the button doesn't fully disable it.

Only thing my awd case had was a speed sensor I swapped to a manual shift transfer case anyways. However it would still kick in and try to stop me from spinning. I pulled all abs fuses and it seems as if it triggered some sort of limp mode that doesn't allow the truck to take off at its full potential
