for some reason I paid $40 extra for the daytime running lights when I ordered my truck (my wifes idea of safety) and now I would pay $140 to be able to turn them off when I wanted.
I know on some trucks you can turn them off and I was wondering if any of you guys knew if this was possible. I know not many of these trucks have the daytime running lights (you guys are smarter than me ) but, hopefully somebody out there knows?

I don't have them on my truck, but I would think there would be a fuse for them, if so you could just pull the fuse...

If my memory serves my correctly, the dealer can disable them with the DRB scan tool. I believe it is just a computer setting.

why would you want to disable them?

I tell you what, you trade me yours for mine. I would love to have the DRL's.
Just have the Dealer disable them. He may charge you another $40

Can be turned on and off with a DRB.

I would like mine turned on. I think I read it has something to do-w-a "Canada" option. I spoke-w-my dealer and he would do it for free but couldn't find the option. Anyone help-w-option location in DRB

I thought it was a change country and a enable daytime running lights.But anyway all the DEALER has to do was call STAR their TECH ASSIST help line and they would have walked them through it.

If the emergency brake pedal is pressed one notch or more the daytime running lights go out.

Gen 2's had a black box on the driver's side fender in engine compartment. Unplug receptacle and no more daytime running lights. Downside is that the high beam indicator will not function. Upside is that fog lights work high or low beam. Haven't checked the new one, so not sure if it's the same system.
My '97 had 2 of these black boxes melt. When they malfunction, headlights stayed on(ie: dead battery) until DRL box was unplugged.
