    Is it ok to drive with these lights on. I turned them off and I noticed when they are off the truck drives a lot smoother and accelerates better. IMG_20170323_225025.jpg

    it wont cause damage. a few people have done the ABS Kill Switch mod to turn it off permanently or they pull the abs fuse. even when I turn mine off it automatically re engages when my tires start spinning freely at 30km/h or faster, like spinning the tires in the snow or sand or the truck senses side ways motion

    No damage, just nanny systems. However, sometimes you get use to the way the truck handles with the nanny systems and that could cause you issues. For example, I have the abs kill switch in my truck, which shuts down all nanny systems. Drives like a vehicle from late 80s early 90s. I had my kill switch on and forgot, gunned it kinda hard from a stop sign going left on a damp road with the mentality of the nanny correction, well no nanny was there and I was all over the road once I realized I turned it off. lol
