I do a bit of beach driving here in Australia in a 4x4 RAM 1500 classic, 5.7 with the 8spd
i want to turn the traction and stability control off in 2wd, i can do it in 4x4 by holding it down for a few seconds while in Park however it comes back on if i swap to 2wd and i cant seem to turn it off completely do do dumb **** :D .....

is there a fuse i can pull, or a wheel speed sensor or something...

The ESC can be disable by holding the button in but it will turn itself back on if the wheel speed exceeds 40 mph (65/kmh).
If your going off road and have no use for ABS braking (which also does traction control/ESC), you can pull the F26 fuse. It's not advised to drive on public roads with the ABS disabled.

ESC can only be turned partially off in 4wd, nothing for 2wd unless you pull the fuse.

Supposedly the Rebel has a bit more of a relaxed ESC system. To the point you could turn it off in 2wd and have some fun!

There's a mod you can purchase that modifies the F26 fuse connection so you can disable it with a dashboard switch when necessary.

Before that mod came out I did the same. Pm me if you want a diagram and data of my mod, which is the same as the one you can purchase.

Or, just pull the F26 fuse when you need to disable
