Low range nannies are still on why?

Snowchief · Apr 11, 2023

Going to run sap( maple syrup) still alot of snow to get in tried holding button 5 seconds says both esc and traction control are off. Nope still cut power truck got stuck had to winch out . So tried low range which it displays that esc and traction are off. Nope stuck again winch out now says four wheel drive temporary not available Wow! Finally it engages but still all the nannies are kicking in causing yep truck loses power and stuck. I hate these new progressive trucks.Is there a way around this like fuse f26 ?

Yep, pull the abs fuse.

Then, order up the Abel bypass switch for it so you can do it on the fly inside the cab and not have to pop the hood every time you wanna disable the feature.

I experienced the same getting stuck in powdery soft desert sand.
Ordered the ABel bypass modified to connect to an Aux Switch. In my Eco the fuse is F26, in my 2020, HO it's F11

Yep it was F11. Truck is back sapping going through snow and mud like my old pre nanny trucks (which probably will go back to) Thanks again and some pics

When you were attempting to defeat the ESC control, did you ever receive a notification on the EVIC?

I've found there are different levels when it comes to disabling the feature and I believe it's not truly disabled until you see the following notification;

Do you have a link for the Abel mod? My google-fu is failing on it.

That's a locker bypass, I assumed they were discussing an ABS fuse bypass mod.

Is there a difference in the Nanny features in the HD trucks by year. Mine is a 2021 Gas 2500 and in low range I do not find that the nanny features are active at all. Even in high range, I seem to be able to turn them off with the TCS button.

Even in real bad mud and low range I don't perceive the truck trying to limit wheel spin as it will throw big rooster tails. I have never worried about whether ABS braking was off or on so can't comment on that. Am I missing something?

Well last season it was just mud and truck worked fine.This snow was much deeper and you really need to keep speed up to get in and it was terrible. It was like it cut timing truck would just fall on its face and time to start winching. Low Range did the same.

Yes notification was displayed. I read somewhere that if wheel speed hits 40 mph esc and traction control comeback on. I have a video of how well it performs after pulling F11 just not sure how to post it.

Post the video on a video sharing site like YouTube and then share the link.

Correct, "ESC. TCS and Torque Reduction features are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph. At 40 mph the system returns to “Partial Off” mode. The “limited slip” feature is not turned off."
