Did some trail runs, nothing major, just some forest service road in smoky mountains, some of the roads were pretty snarly though. It’s amazing what a 19 bone stock truck with bone stock tires on 22 inch rims would do. Ended up with service traction control light as I hit the paved roads though . I will take it to the service center once I get home, but any ideas what it could be? Anyone else had similar experience?

Try turning the traction control off and on. Turn truck off and on? Maybe there’s dirt / sand or something stuck somewhere or on a sensor? Your driving it too hard lol! Good luck!

Tried both, didn’t work. May be she doesn’t like being driven on paved roads anymore lol. Dirt on sensor is highly probable. Will find out when I drive back tomorrow through some rain as the weatherman says. O well, dealer will deal with it. Hopefully not a 3 month wait for parts like everything else in this Covid world.

Update. After driving like 200 miles and about 4 restarts the CEL has now cleared. I did make an appointment so will get it checked anyway.
