Has anyone here( not I know somebody BS) successfully disabled the ABS and TC on a D2? I remember reading a while ago that if you turn off the truck in low range with the diff lock on, and then restart the truck this way, both functions are off. I also read there is a certain wire(seriously) behind the glove box, that you can tap into and run a by-pass relay to a switch as to turn on/off at will.
Anyone? PT...?
Thanks in advance...... let's not get into the why BS.. my choice.

unplug the modulator.

or look at the rave wiring harness and decide what wire you want to switch.

I'm not certain, but I think that you only have to have the diff lock on and shut the truck off, then restart it and the ABS is disabled. I don't think this will work on a 2004 Disco with factory diff lock though.

I believe Jimmy is correct, but it has been a long time since I sold the DII.

True- A DII (other than 04) with CDL fitted will disable ABS/ETC/HDC when restarted with diff lock engaged.

Yeah, thanks guys, but I already knew that. I'm trying to be able to keep my systems off all the time, and not have to turn truck off in diff lock, etc....
I know there's a way:) I'll find it..... Dana's don't like ABS/ETC....

It can be done through the software of the BCU. At least some of it can be.

A few years ago, there were some wiring shortcuts floating around that allowed for semi-permanent disabling of the ABS/ etc.

I don't know why another axle wouldn't like it, if you had the wheel speed sensors to support it, but if you don't have the wheel speed sensors, I think you might be better off looking at hydroboost or one of the many Corvette M/C and GMC pick-up boster swaps.

I re-read that and had to laugh as I hung one of my Salisburys beneath a '93 SWB. Clearly, I tied the rear brake pipes together and have no wheel speed sensors. So far, I don't have an ABS fault! Go figure, I remove most of it, disable some of it and I don't have faults!

Thanks PT. That's what I'm looking for. 60's don't have any wheel speed sensors:D

Tell me about it, I finally got one under the SWB, now to find someone who's serious about swapping the BRAND new rear Salisbury for a front Salisbury! I'm lazy and don't feel like cutting up the brackets I have to graft them to the front 60 I have, or to try to use the rear to make a front.

Once again, I went from none to five in no time!
