Yeah, that should be the one. ABS is turned off too with that unpluged I believe. Test it. If the brakes don't pulsate it's off.

And true, on an iced up lake, having fun, I guess there is no harm in that. Just if you take it to the street like that, keep it in mind, the brakes won't pulsate and you're gonna need to pump the brakes yourself to be able to turn around obstacles in an emergency stop.

But.....since you are on a open lake. This is also a good opportunity to test out the VSC and get comfortable with it. Many people complain about how it feels like the engine stalls when they slip.

Try taking curves with it on, with a direction in mind. Not just with the idea of doing donuts. Kind of like you were racing around a track. You need to have some trust in the system, and just keep you foot on the gas. reflex says that you take your foot off when it starts to beep and blink. Don't do that. Once you have staightened out, and you stil have your foot on the gas the truck just takes off in an instant. Try it. I find that pretty fun too. take a curve, start to slide out, vsc helps to stop the sideways slide, and then BAM, i'm off in a straight line.
