Apparently stability control is mandated federally now. Traction control is not. So you can kill the traction control and get tire spin in a straight line, but if you get sideways the computer nannys are required to jump in. The Ram traction control does kick back on automatically if it doesn't like the amount of wheelspin it's seeing too....
Looking around online there's not much for workarounds without throwing a bunch of codes. You CAN disable all in 4wd low and locked under factory settings, but it reengages if you go over 30mph or get too much lateral movement. Can't exactly drive around in 4low and locked nor can you hoon parking lots in lowrange.
There's always the pull the ABS fuse trick which throws codes and isn't exactly a convenient method. I just want to pull into work lot and slide around a bit before I park. I'm not looking to do the whole commute without ABS and stuff.
There's things I like about the new truck, but the amount of things I don't is really piling up.
