    Check out the Carista plug. I’m not sure if it will disable traction control but I know it does a ton of stuff.

    I don't know about the one @Sting Ray is making but I have one made by another member. Mine is a simple switch. When switched it automatically disables the nannies but I still have to wait several seconds before shifting into drive.

    I’m curious why you would want to disable it permanently. I understand wanting to turn it off in certain situations, but there have been a couple of times when the nannies have definitely prevented an accident and possibly saved my life.

    just one of those things i think should be turned off all the time unless you need it. if you go to get stuck you cant just floor it and spin the tires clean. you have to come to a complete stop disable everything and then lay into the gas. at that point youre already screwed. ive never been one to care at all for traction control. since the day i was born ive been a hell raiser so to say on wheels lol. i know how to drive. dont want the truck taking throttle and control from me.

    Another scenario that happened to me the other day. Say you’re pulling out of a poor visibility spot 90 degrees onto a road with 55mph speed limit. You edge out and don’t see anything. You decide to go and right there comes a car. You floor it only to have the traction control kick in and now you’re barely moving with a car coming at you going 55mph. I’d rather it spin the tires full power and get out of there lol.
