ABS TCS Problems

[larryhutto]

I have been experiencing a sudden shudder or perhaps what may be a slipping that results in my TCS going off. If not, I turn it off and problem usually stays away. Sometimes when this happen I get an ABS light and a slippery vehicle icon on the message display. I turn off the tcs and that usually but not always stops the problem from recurring. After a few minutes, perhaps as long as 10 to 15 minutes the ABS light goes out and all is fair until the next incident.

When I turn on the key I get a "check brakes" message for an instant which goes out. I took it in and they said no error codes and tried as much as they could to replicate the problem but could not. I took it home went on another trip pulling my fifth wheel, but the problem continues to recur sporadically.

Any thoughts?

Check the batteries, see if they are going to lunch. Maybe the cause for the lights.

As for the shakes with the 6" lift..did you re-angle your driveline after the lift?

Unless the shop I got the truck lifted at (4wheelparts) knew to do that . No I did not .

My edge juice is acting up too. It's freezing. It's like all the sensors go dead . It freezes for a min. Or sometimes until I turn off Tue truck . I'll try to check the batteries . My alternator just went out last week n the shop that fixed it didn't mention anything.. aNd it only shakes when the hazard light goes on Tue tcs blinks

Look at the carrier bearing. They should have used a spacer or something to help to bring the driveshaft back to a proper angle.
