So in my 2011 auto I got stuck in an embarrassing amount of mud. Hardly any. And I went to give it power and it wouldn't Rev past 3000 or so. Couldn't even get the tires to spin in the mud. Switched it to first and second as well. So I got pulled out and if I floor it on roads it does fine and has no problem revving up to redline before shifting. What could be the issue?

Traction control is on and working properly? That's my guess.

Forgot to add, traction control was indeed off I turned it on and off a few times to make sure as well

U put it in low it shut ESP off . And there's a button that's Shuts it partially off . If you put a bypass switch in you can permanently shut ESP off whenever you want. That's the way I went

Also the button Only partially turns it off. Low completely turns it off. And if you install the switch mod it completely turns it off as well. And if u hold The button down for five seconds when in four-wheel-drive high it turns it mostly off

So what exactly is different from when its all the way off and partially off?

Partially off means traction control is still kinda on and will screw with you off road. All the way off is all the way off

If you want the traction control off in 4 WD high you have to hold the button in. It takes 5-7 seconds, then you will hear a chime. The ESC message will also show up, just like 4WD low.
Your off- road ABS mode, and brake lock differential still work. Wiring in a button disables everything. I have both.

I believe the first mode disables stability control, and the second mode disables traction control (anti-slip). Holding down the button turns off both, although ABS is still active.

Shifting to 4-low would have disabled both those programs, and also would have given you slightly better control to get out of mud.
