Just wanna punch the guy that came up with that idea in the face! Whew... ok I feel better now.
And yes I know it can be shut off but it automatically comes back on at 40mph.
theres not a fuse you could pull or a sensor you could unhook? hell sometimes i just love to do nothing but spin the tires and slide the back end around.....my "hate" of the day is winter fuel useage, between having 500# in the bed for weight and the front hubs locked as well as other cold-weather factors, im really burning the fuel right now. i dont check milage in the winter, but im sure im down to 12 vs the 17 id normally be getting.
