traction control

[mudderducker]

I took the truck to a local trail today, first mud adventure for the rig. I have a couple questions about TC. I pushed the TC button:

1. the traction control has no light or anything else to indicate it is on or off??
2. what are all those ridiculous clicks and whines it makes when it kicks on and off while the wheels are spinning?
3. is there a way to change the button to turn ON rather than OFF, where it is always off until engaged? it doesn't rain in Texas.

1)Hold the button down for 10 sec to disengage TC
2)BPMV cycling brake pressure to each wheel on/off as needed
3)No, mostly due to liability potential from GM standpoint.
Raining in Texas today--finally.

well I only pushed the button once, so it did nothing. Thanks for the help! maybe a lil over-exageration on 'no rain' in Texas, just infrequent. I think we've gotten like 5" in the last two days. made my spot nice and muddy! and the truck did great considering the TC was on the whole time

do you work at Sewell?

The DIC will tell you when it is turned off
