So I ended up pulling both of my ABS fuses and this thng drives like a dream now! Brakes, steering, acceleration is ALOT more smoother/firmer!

Anything I should worry about with these removed? Im sure most of you performance guys do this.

I only pull the J7 at the track as the code goes away as soon as it's put back. Pulling the pump fuse throws a stored code that has to be cleared.

Only downside is loss of cruise control when I do it.

Oh damn. I guess I need to put that one back in then get it flashed at the dealer?

I havent tried cruise, so I was unaware of losing it. Sucks to lose it, but its the only way my truck drives normal.

Nah just disconnect the battery for a few and it'll clear it.

Oh yea, my speedometer didnt work this morning and my gas light would come on randomly lol Im guessing that was from the Pump fuse that I need to re-install?

EDIT: Installed the pump fuse and my speedometer still doesnt work?

Has anyone cooked their abs pump doing this though? Idk if it was a coincidence but I wired a switch to my abs fuse, so flicking the switch would open the circuit. Same as pulling the fuse. And not to long after this (using the switch maybe once a week) my abs pump went. I wanna pull my fuse for summer but I don't wanna wreck the pump

what does pulling the j7 fuse do? Does it turn off torque management? also i have a bully dog tuner is this ok to do? and sorry for so many questions but do you really feel a difference in power?
