This dude gets it.
This mod is the only way to actually turn off traction control for many trucks unfortunately. I did every combination possible with my T/C button on the dash, but T/C would always kick on if I was spinning.[/QUOTE
No guns, electric micro cars with speed governors, no rude people, no injuries, no one speaks against anything, government provides us equally with what we need, what a lovely world it will be then huh.............Stallone played in a movie like that with Wesley Snipes.

I tried it on mine. The only thing it did was disable the button on the dash.

If you have to buy wire, go ahead and get 14ga. If you have 16ga laying around, it will work for such a short run.

If you didn't use a relay, you'd have to keep your upfitter ON the entire time you wanted the ABS circuit to function normally (90% of my driving)

@ATC Crazy What type of relay did you use? [Normally closed relay?] (post alink?) Way better setup than from the video. (Nice job)

With the upfitter switch OFF, the relay applies power to the ABS circuit from its 'normally closed' position (black wire going into the fuse box). When I flip my upfitter switch ON, it actually powers the relay to flip the power away from the ABS circuit and to a wire that goes nowhere (the yellow wire).

That's not a coating it's shrink tube it gets cut longer than the crimp or solder connecter and slipped over the wire before connecting, make crimp or solder then slide tube over connection and apply heat it will shrink tight if you use the right size.

I did this mod to my truck a while ago. It works great.
And no, it's not for burnouts...it's for when I want or need full control of my truck because the stupid nannies won't let me do what I need to do, or will get me into more trouble...
When this mod is engaged, you will lose rear parking sensors, cruise control, factory navigation, and of course, ABS.
