Someone please double check me. I've tried to break this out into a quick easy way to see what you've got going on given the various button presses and knob switchings

2H or 4H
= Stock shift points & Stock throttle map & Stock AdvanceTrac & Stock ABS

2H or 4H
+ AdvanceTrac single press
= Stock shift points & Stock throttle map & Street Sport AdvanceTrac & Street Sport ABS

2H or 4H
+ AdvanceTrac hold for 10 seconds
= Stock shift points & Stock throttle map & AdvanceTrac off & Street Sport ABS

2H or 4H
+ Off Road Mode
= Off Road shift points & Off Road throttle map & Stock AdvanceTrac & Stock ABS

2H or 4H
+ Off Road Mode
+ AdvanceTrac single press
= Off Road shift points & Off Road throttle map & Off Road AdvanceTrac & Off Road ABS

2H or 4H
+ Off Road Mode
+ AdvanceTrac hold for 10 seconds
= Off Road shift points & Off Road throttle map & AdvanceTrac off & Off Road ABS

4L
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & Stock AdvanceTrac & Stock ABS

4L
+ AdvanceTrac single press
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & Off Road AdvanceTrac & Off Road ABS

4L
+ AdvanceTrac hold for 10 seconds
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & AdvanceTrac off & Street Sport ABS

4L
+ Off Road Mode
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & Stock AdvanceTrac & Stock ABS

4L
+ Off Road Mode
+ AdvanceTrac single press
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & Off Road AdvanceTrac & Off Road ABS

4L
+ Off Road Mode
+ AdvanceTrac hold for 10 seconds
= 4L shift points & 4L throttle map & AdvanceTrac off & Off Road ABS

*NOTE: Engaging or disengaging the Locker at the end of any of these sequences has no effect on the results, except to lock or unlock the rear differential.

*NOTE: Changing between 2H, 4H or 4L resets the AdvanceTrac and ABS modes to stock. Or to put it another way, "Changing Transfer Case Mode resets AdvanceTrac to key-on state"

what i always do, anytime i change any setting, i hit up the adcance trac regardless if it effects it or not...kinda get into a habbit. but even then if i forget and im in offroad mode, its still at a great setting to allow some bad assness lol

Ah. After looking thru the manual a bit, it doesn't look to me like RSC can be independently contolled; looks like it's part of what makes AdvanceTrac AdvanceTrac.

So I would assume it's getting altered as per the above. ?

I'm pretty sure the RSC is controlled in the display but I only had my truck for 20 days so IDK

@Dan: Those are what I used to generate my breakdown. I'd personally rather have a "lookup list" for this stuff. The chart works well, but I found that I have to figure out/remind myself how to read every time.

@Tank: This is from the manual:

TCS = Traction Control System; functions to help avoid drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.
ECS = Electronic stability control; functions to help avoid skids or lateral slides.
RSC = Roll Stability Control; functions to help avoid a vehicle roll-over.

The Raptor supplement points back to the manual (and this chart), so I think we can assume it applies to our trucks as well.
