Guessing you are part of the 10% that traction control, abs, stabili-link, electronic brake proportioning crap is more burdensome than helpful..
The ABS/electronic pro crap almost caused me to jack knife going down said hill. Front would lock up long before rear that had full chains on and drives would keep shoving me down the hill!
But Mr Tyler will gladly tell anyone how stupid they are for not liking it
I've yet to have any computerized traction control system save my ass... On the other hand I've had the exact opposite

if you were in 2wd? thought you were in 4wd?

There is no reason we shouldn't be able to turn off ABS and traction control. It has caused plenty of people to get stuck on muddy conditions. ABS will get you killed if your not careful in muddy conditions or gravel roads. On snow in newer trucks I haven't seen it to be to bad. I love to be able to blip my throttle every once in a while traveling in possibly icy conditions. I can see how bad it is so I know to slow down.

adam shut up. You simply turned the corner too sharp going up a hill and didnt calculate the turning radius properly. Admit you made a mistake. That little accident of yours didnt have jack shit to do with ABS.

Your truck doesnt even have traction control or anything like that.

I'm talking about going down said hill! Obviously you missed that part completely
As smart as you are...your reading comprehension completely failed you on what the picture was to illustrate
what I said.. it has nothing to do with taking a tight turn with a long vehicle..

James... front differential still has 3.73 in it..Which is laying on the ground currently..
and doesn't change the fact BCM/Abs module removed 99% of rear brake bias when I came down from the hill, and I had to use one of their trucks chained to the trailer to keep me from jack knifing

He can get mad all he wants..

As much as the technology stuff is cool. We as a population need to start making smart drivers for dumb cars again vs currently smart cars for dumb drivers.

I had a 04 grand am GT, in Jan 04 went across an ice patch ABS/TCS went nuts I lost all brakes shortly car went into a spin and results I ate a guard rail. Non abs car would have kept going straight..

no it sure dont but i was just curious cause if you were in 4wd, the rear tires would have locked up with the front or all 4 tires would have been pulsing. when i take my truck to the dunes or cinders on "rescue missions", i unlock a front wheel speed sensor so i can lock the brakes up. only way to stop it coming down those hills or to quickly stop on the flat ground in those types of terrain.

I basically had 2 brakes stoping 16,500lb of empty weight
EoH pump randomly died on top of the mountains to so no Trailer brakes either.

I have found pulling ABS fuse doesn't make the prop valve default 50/50

I'll be the first to say, I hate abs and traction control. Especially the gm stuff. In my half ton. The best thing I ever did was bypass the abs pump. I can stop in literally half the distance on snow covered roads. I would do the same to my dually but don't want that much liability on a 36,000# rig. The traction control is literally dangerous on the newer trucks. I turn it off anytime I drive my fathers lml, it's left me with a dead pedal in the middle of an intersection way to many times. Stabile trac in a rental stingray tried to put me in the ditch when I took a corner pretty hot. I was 100% in control (ain't my first time going sideways ...) and the stupid thing just locked a up the inside rear tire. Thankfully nobody was nearby cause they sent me all over the road...
oh and the trailer brake control abs on my dually cuts all brakes on an eoh system. That one cost me big time.

Popcorn anyone?

I definitely agree that these cars are making people dumber though. How many can't even park anymore?!

Our phones do it to us to a degree as well. We don't need to remember as many things as we should because we can always rely on our phones to do it for us.

Oh, you were doing down the hill? Thats not what happened according to your facebook post.

Or is this another misunderstood case of backwards pistons.

Typical Ben being a know it all jackass but has zero reading comprehension skills. He clearly stated in his post that he was going down hill when the issue occurred, he just happened to only have a picture of him going up

Yep what goes up must come down

Coincidentally after this post, in my rental f250 traction control prevented me for avoiding a collision today.

Snowed last night, 10 degrees out. Driving to work this morning, saw a car waiting to turn left out of a neighborhood up ahead (on my right side). Wind gust created a mini white out. I continued straight with 0 visibility. Next thing I saw was this baby blue Camry a foot in front of me just having had pulled out. I had the choice of slamming into and probably killing her, or to avoid her to the rear. I made a quick decision and turned to the right to miss her rear end. I missed by inches. This maneuver put me on an angle to the street I was traveling on, and across the entrance to her neighborhood. Her road had not been plowed a second time and had a light covering of snow. I was headed directly into the woods and tried to goose the throttle to slip the ass end out to the right, so I could then do the opposite by slipping the tail left and hopefully ending up straight or at least stopped.

Slip control intervened and wouldn't allow any power delivery. So I ended up going straight. There was a narrow gap between an angled utility pole support and a pine tree. I threaded the gap successfully but the truck was too tall to squeeze through. So it ended in carnage, and while the accident was her fault, slip control prevented any sort of emergency maneuver for me to avoid damage. I'll get pics up later on

 

[oscyjack]

So basically. The first three pictures show the road I was on, and the direction the truck was heading (clear path through snow). YOu can see how close I came to her based on where are tracks meet. From there it was straight for the gap when slip control intervened. And then the parking spot where it ended up, good spot for a ford.

 

[oscyjack]

Windshield was obliterated as was the passenger front window and mirror. A pillar, C pillar and lots in between had some good dents. No airbags

What a bunch of "Idiots" he says:rofl:

Glad you made it out of there safe. Sorry about the truck, but a truck is replaceable where a life is not.

Hopefully she turned around, or you got a good enough description for the cops to find her in the neighborhood. It's always up to the cops to determine if she is at fault.

 

[WVRigrat05]

I have found rewind does wonders. My truck doesn't stop but you put it in reverse and you'll kiss the dash.

 

[Awenta]

She probably had no idea she caused anything and kept puttering along.

On the other hand the ferd is right where it should be. Found dead :roflmao:
