[QUOTE="JP7, post: 26185, member: 223"] I'm wondering if any of the Ford techs or other members out there can help me out with this. Is traction control speed limited? (ie: only works below certain speeds)? Or only active while turning? The snow here is finally melting, and most of the dry roads are covered in sand and silt. I've had the tires break loose numerous times in the past week while driving more than 25 mph. Not once has the trac control cut power or caused the ABS to kick in. Specifically - this is straight line driving only. Slow take off in first gear, moderate into second, then when I push it (not rug it, but you know, make it go fast...) both tires break loose until I back off a bit. No fishtailing or sideways movement - just good ole fashioned spin. I really stomped on it on the highway yesterday afternoon and got the wheels to spin doing about 50mph. Not that I mind, as this is how trucks are supposed to work without all the high tech crap. At slippery areas, inclines and turns (like my driveway with a 10% slope and 2 S-bends) the traction control is active all the time and works great. So, is the traction control 'smart'? I'd just like to know in case I get into a tough situation where reflex and reaction could be over-ridden, causing a bad scene. Any thoughts or similar experiences would be helpful [/QUOTE]
