Crap... Will my truck do donuts in the snow, or not?
2013 F150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew.
After reading many pages on the Traction Control/Advancetrac override, I am still confused as to how the truck will perform.
If I hold the traction control button down for 5 sec to turn everything off and start doing donuts in a snow covered parking lot, will the truck "shut me down" once my wheels start spinning more than 35 mph?
I hear some people say that the truck "dies" as soon as you hit 35 mph. But then I hear other people say they can do donuts all day long and it will really let you "hang it out there".
Who is right?
I don't really want to put a switch on my #36 fuse (traction control), but i guess I will if that's what it takes to do a freakin donut.

There are two steps to fully turn off both traction control and advance trac. Press once to turn off traction control, then press as hold till the advance trac turns off.
I easily did a 40-50ft burnout at a stop sign doing this. In the snow its not all about speed but keeping the momentum. I can't remember how fast I got up to, but how fast do you need to be going to do donuts in the snow?
