Can you disable RSC ?

I drive An 09 FX4 and i love it. I use it for work and pleasure. But mainly for work.

On that subject I've installed a Blizzard 760 LT straight blade snowplow on it. Last night i took it out for the first time since Toronto hasnt seen much snow this winter season. Driving it around i noticed the RSC would kick in at times i really don't want it to. By the end of the night all i could smell is burning brakes just because its been goes crazy while im plowing. I know you can disable the traction control but i was wondering if you could turn off the RSC.

I know its meant for safety and it does come in handy in lots of situations. But ive been driving plow trucks for many years and very experienced in winter driving so sometimes i find it very annoying.

Any comments ?

(I am surprised at you shotgunner)

There is a chart about the AdvanceTrac thingy there showing what can be turned off and how with the three things: the >5 seconds deal for RSC, ESC and Traction Control, the just pr4ess in once button for Traction Control disable (no need to hold in>5 seconds etc) etc etc.

Many of us on boards lump all three together as traction control but they are separate. But, why confuse the situation with the facts I know . . .

I'm actually glad this question came up. I tend to "pour" through the OM when I 1st get the vehicle new...then put it aside and promptly forget about 70% of what I read! I was just wondering the other day if my '09 Plat had ABS/RSC/ESC, etc. and good to confirm it does

Nice truck Phunkiejay.

That's pretty much what I'm looking at now, but with the regular 18" wheels not the sport package
