Just wondering here, but my truck doesnt have the t/c button but when i removed my dash bezel theres a plug that goes to that spot with all the wiring. So my question is if i buy the module thats part of the bezel will i then have t/c, or is there more to it?

Are you sure ranger? DJ added cruise to his truck by installing a turn signal lever with cruise. Maby he just needs to buy the traction button and plug it in.
i was wondering the same thing and my truck is an 07 fully loaded. does anyone know how much that button cost
Even if it did...which i dont think it will....traction control sucks. I had it on my old rado and it was a pain in the ass cause it defaults to on. Nothing sucks more then trying to turn onto a busy road quick and all the sudden power shuts down and you cant speed up. :lol:
yeah it kills power COMPLETELY for a few seconds atleast. i hate it even though it rarely happens to me unless its really wet or sandy.
If you do find out that it works and if you still want it, I will trade you my T/C button for a peice with out one.
Considering that the TC button disables the TC by sending a signal to the PCM - I'm going to say that all you get by ditching the TC button is TC all the time with no option of removing it.
Im going to try and get with my buddy this weekend to try his out and see whats up. At 1st i thought 5spd trucks didnt come with it hence why i dont have it but yesterday i saw another 5spd xtreme but with t/c. Rangerbob i thought the button just gives you the chance to turn it on? If Andersonn removes his button when its in the off position he should be fine, heck i dont have a button and she will spin em w/o cutting the power.
if you remove the button from the system it will ALWAYS be off. it defaults to off.
this is why i would think just adding the button wont work, but im curious to see.

The TC default to ON guys - not off. This is why you have to push the button to turn it off every time you turn on the truck.
And I doubt GM would make it so that a simple switch swap would enable a couple hundred dollar option.

They only offered TC with the 5 speed trucks for the first year or two, the way it kills power causes problems with the manual transmission. As violent of a stop as it is in an automatic truck I can't imagine how bad it'd be in a manual.
My traction control doesn't work anymore, it lets me know when I lose traction but it's basically 'disabled' because of my tune.

actually every truck for 09 has traction control now. but my guess is its a whole new system.
Why bother - because then you don't have to train people to do multiple tasks and it takes less time to do the same thing over and over than to remember which piece goes where when.
anyone ever figure out if adding the button goves you the ability to turn TC off...? im curious because mines an 04 w/o the button and noone else around has a colly... and itll be along time before i can get a tune...
I'd be interested but like you said a tune. Killed chances of that. My wife will pull out on a wet road and burn off for blocks trying to figure out why its not going any were lol
ah~~so TC default to ON? good to know..I always thought it was the opposite. Sometimes when I drive up a hill and i can feel my truck is 'lack of power' like choked up or something...it doesnt go faster even if I floor it. Is it because the TC is on?
