Advancetrac icon does not flash when 4 Hi and Diff is locked

[Xjrguy]

I'd like to know why the AdvanceTRAC icon does not blink (like it does for all other modes) in this situation/configuration:

Shift truck to 4 Hi
Lock Differential
Hold down advancetrac button for it to blink and it does not ever blink denoting traction control is off.

I was told that an arcane combination of events needs to happen first (disable advancetrac BEFORE locking the diff)

Why?

I spent the first four outings in the desert with Advancetrac active (unintentionally) because I had my diff locked and the truck in 4 Hi and I assumed the traction control was off due to me holding the button down, but it never blinked.

Can this be fixed please in a future update available to curr

Raptorguy21 had JDM write him a tune to permanently disable traction control. Hopefully he has better luck with the SCT tuners.:deadhorse::soapbox::banana:otstir:

I'm gonna whip something up in COBOL and upload a tune myself.

I rode in it after the 1st (their tune) and 2nd tunes (his request to permanently disable TC) the 1st tune just felt better, there are still some kinks in the 2nd one to be worked out, but I'll let him explain all that. My job -which I'm currently failing at- is to post the video I shot.
Sounds like he may keep both tunes loaded in the tuner and use them over and over at different times when the situation calls for a change. (tune 1: street tune, tune 2: all day off-road days)

Ford should fix this. I shouldn't have to remember that I need to press down button a before I do b or c when off roading. If the icon blinks in every other mode except when the diff is locked last then that is a user interface flaw.

I'm complaining on behalf of my driver/chauffeur. Sheesh sometimes it feels like I am talking to myself with you.

I'm going to gut your cat and go fishing with it's entrails.
