Well the steering wheel is centered so that isn't the issue. But i will look into the esp kill switch. I've owned two other cars without abs, not too worried about it.

Hey bill! Can't wait to go wheeling this weekend. Gonna be another fun trip I think. So in to your situation. As others have suggested, is your steering wheel centered? I have esp issues when I mess with my trac bar or drag link lengths. The steering wheel needs to be centered or the jeep will think you are in a really long, permanent skid. If it isn't, we can center it when we get together in Sunday if you want.

Greetings to all like minded adventure people. I have a problem that is hopefully not a new one and easily remedied. When I drive my jeep, on 35s, around some corners in town, at what I presume to be perfectly reasonable speeds, the traction control has a tendency to question my judgment and apply the brakes to one of the outside wheels during the turn. I recently re-calibrated the computer with the help of a fancy Superchip Flashpaq. I thought that would fix the issue for obvious reasons but it seems my traction control and I are destined to never get along. Any ideas? Can i unplug some wires and never have it bother me again? Will that leave the lights on the dashboard on forever? Some one please tell me there is a hope.
