How to disable ESP when stuck in mud?
#21
ok, maybe it didn't dissable it all the way but it did enough that i could spin the tires enough that if i was stuck i wouldn't be a sitting duck.
jason2922 i have read about that somewhere.. i remember something about having to turn the wheels back and forth.. i will have to see if i can find it and post it..

it was on solid ice...we have a lot here from the storm yesterday. I beat a 09 chevy 1500 and a 98 gmc but lost to my buddy with his 07 chevy diesel, thats when I was spinning the tires so fast. But like I said, when I shut off the esp 100% by holding the esp button while in 4wd for 5 seconds it completely shuts it off.

Thanks everybody
Thanks everybody, good tips.
The "key trick" sounds promising. Thanks tombogue09.
You 4-wheel guys are lucky. 2-wheel drive trucks can't disable ESP by holding the button for 5 seconds. It's not an option.
I read the article for disabling ESP. Wonder if the same thing is available for 2 wheel drive?

I tried Partial Off, and it was useless in slick mud. I could peel out for a second only to get stuck a foot or two later again once the wheels went to slow.
I can't believe Dodge didn't take into account ESP for 2-wheel drive trucks when stuck in the mud. I'm scared sh#tless of getting off of the pavement now in my umpteen thousand dollar truck. How embarressing. The shame.
