Snow doughnuts = burning rubber smell??

Check your power steering. I was doing donuts in the cold a month ago and the back and fourth boiled my power steering and ended up losing the pump, had the whole thing replaced under warranty, you may of had some leaks and it burned off on the engine.

I did a bit of offloading smelled that burning plastic smell that is the brakes sniffed it out by the tire it was the strongest. Don't touch your rotors lol.

Wilson is 100% right on this one.
The stability control is never completely off, even in offroad mode and the long button press.
The stability sytem is still on the brakes at very (very) large yaw angles.
Like in donuts.

If you didn't even put it in offroad mode, just disabled t/c, the stability system is still monkeying around with the brakes quite actively.
See this alot here in the icy north.
Also of interest, the t/c is never completely off, even in offroad mode with the long button press. Prolonged excessive wheel spin, lots of differential between the front and rear tires, will result in the t/c kicking in regardless of mode.
I'd like to kick the engineer of this setup square in the balls.

Yep, I know we can't ever turn it all off. I hate the fact that I own the truck and Ford still gets to control what I do with it. The engineers at SVT basically said it was for our own good and was better with it on than letting us drive without the "help." That may be but I don't have to like it either
Rant over now

It should come sport mode on on start up. with a touch of the button to turn it all off. Then for the girly girls a **** button for the oooh I'm sliding I don't know what I'm doing button.

last time i went playing in a snowy field my buddy took a video of the donuts and stuff, in the video you can see my manifolds glowing red. i expected something to melt.

also a month or so later my power steering pump was whining
