From: at the truck pulls

I raced at the motocross track in Picayune, know it well but not much about the town.
We never played them in sports, Hancock North Central was as far north as we got.

For me, I find it an overly-sensitive and unneeded, and sometimes dangerous intrusion into what I'm trying to tell the truck to do.

So many times, mostly when I'm turning, in an attempt to merge into traffic, I'll clip a curb or a little patch of riff-raff or God forbid a reflector or two in the road, and that'd be right about the time the turbo comes online, and a tire starts to spin a little and wwwhhhHHOOOOAAAAA where'd my acceleration go? Small cars n trucks in my rearview suddenly getting big as my foot's welded to the floor and the turbo unspools and the truck falls on its face and just.....

No.Thank.You. I can drive just fine without your involvement, mr BCM....

In soft sand/mud is another example where you want lots of wheelspin.

A- just to clear it up, your original post was correct, 4Lo did disable TCS and AdvanceTrac for me, I checked it yesterday.

The only reason I didn't catch it when I was pulling that truck outta the ditch was because I had already turned it off, habit, upon startup a few minutes prior.

I had one of my Ford Techs run one of my upfitter switches to a 5 way relay that will kill the abs ( which is needed to turn off tcs and advance track) but will still provide power to the e locker. Works very well. I don't use it when Im in 4lo because I dont feel the need to ever go that fast in low range. 4hi yes

Here is some pictures

I'll see what I can do. He definitely wired the relay into the correct pins. I think that's the hardest part. Finding ABS power and E-Locker and wiring it from there. I'll see if I can get a diagram
