How did you get yours to work like that? Were you able to get the e locker to stay engaged after 30?

Custom tuning. I can't get the wheelspeed of the brakestand over 30 mph with the e locker engaged yet. But we are working on that.

Default playing with traction control

Anyone had the traction control kick in while passing? I was passing someone going 40 in a 55 and had my TC cut the power on me. I think it was the wake up strip on the center line. I have the 5.0 with 285/65/20 KO2s so it's no power house. I thought it was pretty odd.

Perhaps the tires slid/spun enough when going over the strip for the system to go off. I have not had that happen.

I haven't tuned mine yet but I have noticed when offroad in the mud or any other situation where you just have to "let it eat" to get through an obstacle I have to hold TC for over 5sec to turn 3 of the nannies off then I put the tranny in manual mode so it'll stay in 1st and not try to upshift. And most of the time the rear wheel spin control works well enough but for real nasty stuff I just turn on the e-locker because the spin control can't react fast enough in situations where one wheel might have traction for only a split second. With that said, before playtime (on or off pavement) I turn off the nannies and use manual shifting. Then you can do burnouts and doughnuts till your heart is content.
