RAM 1500 Unlocking Off-Road 4x4 Performance | How to Turn Your Traction Control ALL The Way Off

How to easily improve and unlock your off-road performance in your RAM 1500. the key is to FULLY turn off your traction control aka also turn off your Electrotonic Stability Control. This videos summarizes my own real world 4x4 testing and how fully turning off your traction control and your ESC can great improve your off-road performance.

I've had this truck for 3 years now and was not aware about the ESC system so I figured a lot of you guys would know about this either. This ESC system is different then just your traction control system whereas the ESC takes your abs wheel speed sensors and many other driving inputs into consideration to decide what to do with the truck. the best example of this is when in 4wd lock with the rear wheels spinning at different speeds then the front wheels and the steering wheels turned. The ESC thinks the truck is in a spin out condition and will actively cut power to the front driveshaft. which is exactly what you don't want when you are stuck somewhere and the truck is actively cutting power to the front wheels.

obviously the Electronic Stability Control has benefits like when you are actually in a spin out situation it can dramatically improve the results and maybe even keep you on the road. So before you go ripping out fuses realize its there in the first place to help you. BUT when already in a 4x4 situation this system will hold you back. so turning the ESC off will ensure you get as much power to the wheels as you possibly can.

hope you guys liked the video!
