Heres one some may already know, some may not. you can hit the traction control button and turn the traction control off, But it will still kick on under certain circumstances, if you really want to kill the whole system while your driving tap the traction control button, it will pop up a message saying tc off, when that screen disipears push and hold the tc button for i think like 10 seconds and it will display a message saying advance trac off, this completely disables the system and you can do as much sliding around tail whipping as you want.
i personally like being in complete control.

Mine has a really neat feature that others have noticed as well. I do not have to take my eyes off the road at highway speeds. At approx. 55 MPH and 75 MPH my truck shakes/shudders terribly. So, now I know how fast im going without taking my eyes off the road! It also keeps me awake on those long road trips.

you can do the same with the 09/10 trucks. With the key in the off position press and hold trip reset button on the instrument cluster and hold for 3 seconds, than turn the key to the ACC. position while still holding the reset button for another 2-3 seconds.
