Winters comming and this will be the first one with the Rubi, will I be able to do fish tails or doughnuts? or will the ESP/ERM kick in and try to correct them?

 

If you turn the esp off it will to some extent.

 

doing donuts is very bad for limited slips.

 

He's got a Rubi, rear diff is open unless he locks it.

 

will I need to " do the dance" or will can I do the partial off in 2WD? If I do the dance then it will be in 4H and drive like the AWD Mountaineer that I just got out of, what I'm looking for is more "old school" 2WD drifting.

 

Cant wait for winter and all the doughnuts.
Gunna lock the rear and go nuts this year!!

OP- Disable the ESP when ever you want to go play in the snow, I will assure you it will fishtail and spin.
If you have an 08 or 09 you can disable the ESP completely

 

If you do the dance the ESP is off in both 2wd and 4wd

 

OK so I'm going to try the dance right now but one thing confuses me. The book says "Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON." Does this mean ON as in accesory or actually starting the engine? With it in acc. only there will be no power steering.

 

Actually I just realized that I did the locker mod and I could flip the switch whenever I want a bit of fish. I wonder how that would affect the ESP/ERM?

 

I dont know about how it will affect the ESP as mine is turned off indefinatly
