    Turn off the DSC "all the time" and drive like our fathers did.

    Its not that hard and god forbid people learn how to really control a car without a computer.

    I have already discovered that turning off the dsc is best in snow and ice. Thanks for the tip. The dsc will actually stall the car in slippery low speed conditions

    OK....I am flipping out. Don't get out of your car to push it, really not a smart thing to do.

    Even an open diff will allow both wheels to spin if it is on snow or ice.

    :cornut: This sounds counterintuative but it's true. In negotiating snowy icey hills, TURN OFF the Dynamic Stability Control. When back on the straight and level, turn it back on. IT WORKS! Don't forget to turn it back on though. :Thumbsup:
