Not sure if this has been covered
If so, sorry for the repost.
OK, I was with a couple of mopar guys last night and they told me about this trick to turn off (Completely turn off) the traction control (ESP) without using a tune
1) start the car, put it in drive and drive while keeping the speedo over 15MPH
2) while the speedo is over 15mph, turn the ignition key to the right (as if you're starting the car & hold it for 3 seconds)
Don't worry about damaging the starter or something as the car has a lockout protection that protects the starter when the car is running
You will hear a beep and you will see the ESP & traction control icons light up
Now they are completely off
doing this will disable the ESP and torque management.
While doing this, I noticed a significant improvement in the torque as well as a slight chirp of the tires. Not much chirp since I have AWD. But I'm sure you guys with RWD will have a little more fun
To test it, fine a nice stretch of road (empty if possible). begin from a stand still, and gunn it and enjoy being pinned against your seat
To turn the ESP back on, or put everything back to normal, Just park the car, turn the car off and start it again.
Here's a simple vid I did as well
