If you guys are looking to get rid of the torque limiting (engine holding 2000 rpm), pull the tranny into first gear. Like Phil said, if TC2 isn't working for you and you need more wheel spin, ride the brake enough to light the tail lights up, and it will override the TC system.

Nice I didn't think of doning that (tapping brakes to override). Hey Instructor...Why dont they just have a button to turn it off?

So if you are in 4Lo there is a "torque liniting" feature that wont let you go over 2000 RPM? That is why it feels like I'm hitting a rev limiter or something...Thanks for the info, I didn't know we had that. And to override this, just shift it down to 1st gear...
Let me get this straight. If I want to float through some mud I have to keep it in 1st while hitting the gas and tapping the breaks to override the TCS and Torque Limiting. Jeez, why not just have a button!

You don't want to just tap the brakes, you want to ride the brake pedal (enough to turn the brake lights) on. It takes a little practice to do it smoothly with your left foot, but not much. Kicking into first also works, I rarely have to do both, just pick the right one for the terrain.
It happens in 4Hi too, TCS takes over and controls throttle response when a wheel is spinning. I often will be in 4Hi going through loose sand, with my foot to the floor and barely moving. That's whaen it is time to "trick" the system. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Exactly. I just use first for the most part, just because its easier to pull the shifter back than it is to ride the brake (unless you are a blue hair). Alan, you would know if you were bouncing off the rev limiter, 6 grand, motor wound tight...
