Horrible sound.

Been having an issue when I'm in the dirt or mud and I peel out, my truck makes a grinding sound... Anyone know why that may be? I've only tried it twice and both times it made the sound.

 

Are you peeling out with traction control on?

 

@Texas T no

 

Just curious, but are you using CRAWL control?

 

Sounds like traction control to me

 

@Island Time no

@Lawfarin i didn't have it on, but thanks for the input. Maybe there's just something wrong with my truck. Gonna have that checked out.

 

@Rock Lobster will do.

 

Even if you turn traction off I believe advanced traction remains on

 

How many people go to the dealership to get things that are operating normal checked out?

 

@Herniator idk man. Haven't asked.

 

@Lawfarin thanks

 

In my ford after traction is off you hold the button for 10 sec. Thought I read this with the Tacoma too

 

Mine did the same thing you have to completely turn it off by holding the button a few seconds.

@Lawfarin @Rock Lobster
Yes! Some answers! Not just some douche that thinks TW is the dealership.
I appreciate it fellas.

 

I skimmed it. Just using the forum like anyone else. It's my first taco, so I didn't think turning the traction off doesn't turn the traction off.. Will read next time. No one HAS to reply, but you did anyway. Thanks

@Lawfarin haha thanks.

 

I had this same problem when I did some parking lot drifting last winter. Just hold down the vsc for 10 seconds to COMPLETELY override traction control. Night and day difference.

 

@techride thanks man. The manual doesn't say to hold it for 10 secs.












Well I didn't see it.

 

To be honest, I didn't look at my manual. I took a wild guess and just held it down with happy results. However, with the vsc overridden, I'm not sure if the limited slip function on the rear diff is still active. It might just leave it wide open on trucks without the e-locker.
