Wheeling and Traction Control

[BonesWK]

seems I have sparked a debate, interesting replys guys. Keep the info coming.

Im using QDII, the only problem I have is when climbing a hill the engine doesnt put out power at some points and it gets a little frustrating, while the TCS is on.

That's exactly why I turn it off.

Other than debating exactly what pressing the button does, I don't think there's any debate as to whether you should keep it on or not (well except maybe for Sal's case).

For QDII, turn it off so there's nothing bogging the engine down. The ELSDs take care of the rest.

Hehehe... Yeah, I'm confused by now as well, so let me take a step back and ask a question or two. The owners manual does not differentiate between the QTII (what you have) and the QDII (what I have), so I'll start with the assumption that ESP and TCS work the same for both.

Without using you toggle switch mod, do you get the "ESP OFF" message on the EVIC when you are in Park and hold down the ESP button for the 5 (or whatever) seconds like the manual says? If you follow this procedure, what is the effect when wheeling?

Im not exactly sure if the TCS and ESP work the same with QT II and QD II. Without the toggle, it does display "ESP Off" on the EVIC when I press and hold down the TCS button for 5 seconds. The only effect by following this procedure that Im aware of is having the ESP totally disabled which i think the owners manual recommends when off roading due to the terrain you are driving on. Also, I dont get the engine bog down that happens when you keep the TCS on when you lose traction.

For about a grand we can make your WK QT II..... having 4-low would be a night and day difference!

What all would go into the process of changing from QT-I to QT-II?

NV245J transfer case....4wd module for tcase that plugs in under 2nd row seating....and a shift bezel out of a XK/_WK with QTII...I could do it in 3 hours.

Ya know people stress over the computer for doing this but really who cares right. Put it in low and let the dash light up like a x-mass tree. It's better then not having low range any day.

What do u mean? I have already done a QT I to QT II swap and had no lights come on after the install...well besides the 4 low light

Uh? when did you do this and how come I haven't read about and seen pictures or a thread something! You holding out me or am I missing something?

It wasn't done on my XK as its already QT II. I did the swap on a friends QT I WK back in November. A member on the other forum converted his XK to QT II and posted a thread listing the exact part numbers for all the parts needed to do the swap. He did all the leg work and was the guinea pig for the first successful install. All I did was find all the part for my buddy and install them. It took less than 4 hours. I think I can do it again in about three.
