    Disabling traction control question

    I have been working on a 2012 Ford F150 and the owner wants to disable the traction control functions, but still maintain torque management for transmission longevity. He can spin the tires while holding the brake peddle, but when the vehicle starts moving, it revs to approximately 3700 rpms and limits throttle while wot. I tried searching for a solution on here and the web to no avail. Any advice on where to start? I logged the traction control pid in the scanner, and it says off. I also disabled the torque management in the engine tabs. Will it be under the transmission functions?

    AFAIK there is no way to totally disable TC in the tune on F150's.

    Sucks but he will have to push the button each time he starts it or pull the ABS fuse and live with dash lights.

    if it's a 4x4 be careful pulling the fuse for a long term solution. If the 4x4 kicks in with no abs won't it be bad in some situations like if your tires are not going the same RPM?
