This i find extremely frustrating so i would assume this mod will fix this problem first of all, is that correct?
Secondly i really do not want to lose the brake lock differential function with this mod activated as i find it extremely helpful. Can anyone confirm that BLD will not be disabled?

The loss or brake has nothing to do with this mod. I have experienced what you are talking about numerous times in all makes of 4WD's. It is called "brake fade". Unfortunately my mod will not assist in this instance (not much will). If brake fade is not the issue, then it's the ABS trying to get traction. In this instance the ESP switch mod WILL help.

Seacomms is right on the money. Although it will not assist you in your brake fade issues which are experienced by many 4WD's, you will also lose the brake assist feature which basically helps you up a hill when the vehicle senses loss of traction. I only ever use my ESP mod on sand as that's when the vehicle suffers the most. All other times I leave the ESP turned on.
