i dont know if its traction control is bugged out or what but on like a rainy day i like to have a bit of fun and just put the peddle to the floor. but i cant ...always like a sudden slow halt then it revs up again. i know you can turn of stab-ability control but its comes back on like 5 seconds later . any thoughts on this? i just feel like im holding back power somewhere.

read your owners manual you can turn off stabilitrac and traction control for more than 5 seconds.

stabilitrac will only stay off under 35 mph. turn your T/C off, then hold the T/C button until it flashes "stabilitrac off" on your dash. Probably have to hold it for about 5-10 seconds.

Turned both of them off on mine. And it still lags/cutsoff. Been trying to do a video of a little burnout.

That's so weird lol. I think my traction and whatnot is doa from the factory. This truck acts like one that has no traction or stability control. I can do burnouts skid sideways and whatever and it does nothing. I shut it off every single time I start it and th stabilitrack comes back on with speed as it should.... but it seems to do nothing. I won't complain.... I love it! The more I read this forum and the drivability complaints I see I think I must have got a ringer somehow. It doesn't lag... throttle response is good... my 8 speed shifts awesome for stock... I dunno. If I didn't buy it new I would say it's been tuned... but it hasn't been lol.

 

I updated my EFILive to the latest and greatest so I can start messing with my truck. If you guys think a GM truck sucks you should drive a 6.2 F150... yeesh. I had an XLT supercab I traded for this Chev and still have a crew cab FX4... they won't allow burnouts stock period.... throttle and brake equals shutdown... and have the most agressive traction control strategy I have ever driven with. It's only the 6.2 trucks though as the Ecobust and 5.slow don't act anything like it. My FX4 is not bad now but it took one particular tunojg company to make it that way. Coming to this Silverado was like going back to my 05 Sierra for traction control lol.

If you want to fully disable everything you need to pull the fuses for them. Other than that they will automatically kick back on even when disabled.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
