I would like to put in a switch to disable the ABS when offroad as I have found this to be more of a safety hazzard than help. I have searched 4x4wire and only found info on Toyota's, has anyone done this? I can't be the only one who has found the ABS to be a nuisance. I have found that in mud or snow the abs kicks on pretty much making me have no brakes and has caused me almost to wreck my truck. I just went wheeling yesterday and was doing a steep decent and once again the abs sinced wheel lock and caused me to go flying down a very steep hill.

I disabled it by removing the entire system. It blew a seal and was gonna cost too much to repair, the cheaper option was to ditch it and drive it like we used to before we knew what ABS was

I'd like to leave it intact, just have a switch to disable it. My foot has abs built in, my wifes does not.

it's supposed to turn off on it's own when you shift into 4wd and tart driving. You can just unplugg it or wire in a switch, it won't be hard to do.
