traction control
The button realistically doesn't do a hell of a lot. If you press and hold the button it disables the Advancetrac and RSC up to about 35 mph and then it comes back on anyhow. The "traction control" will still be off but the other two make sure you don't spin a lot anyhow. If the truck moves any amount side to side it shuts down. Mine is ridiculously aggressive on my FX4...... so when it aggravates me enough I pull Fuse 47. The e locker will still engage as it always does but all traction control/advancetrac/RSC functions are dead.... as is the ABS brakes. Until I test the Raptor TCCM on my configuration ( same powertrain as any Raptor in my case) it is what it is.

From what I have been told by MPT over the phone was that it can't be disabled permanently via a tune.
But when I ordered my tune I put in the comments section
"Can if at all possible disable the traction but without causing any lights to come on on the dash. If that's not possible can you lessen the affects of it."
Have I done burnout since then? No
Have I spun a little in rain since then? Yes, it seams that they may have lessened the effects of it or the trucks make more power and able to "pull" through the control of it.
So I do still have TC but Really not sure to be 100% honest if the effects have been lessened. I drive the truck mostly like a grandma so I can't say for sure because I never truly tested it.
Sure would be nice to have MPT and a SV on this site so we could get direct answers from them for all to see. Not just via phone or email where the info isn't getting out to us guys.

My truck is custom tuned as well.... SSI did it but none the less. The tuning they did had zero effect on the traction control systems on the truck. They can't access it's parameters with SCT. From what I see with my HPtuners neither can I.
The burnout thing is what it is as well but you may be able to adjust that. As the truck is if you apply the brake and throttle at the same time the throttle simply dies..... safety feature thanks to people who had their throttles stick and could not figure out to either shut it off, move to neutral or whatever. Yes I have have had my throttle stick wide open.... I shut the engine off..... worked like a charm.
