help...traction control interfearing with turning...
 
I have a 2007 Z71 4x4 Silverado with a 6" Trail Master suspension lift with 33" tires. When i turn, left or right, many times the traction control does something (the traction control flashes on the dash when this happens) and causes the front brakes (i think) to grab, so to say. Does anyone else have this problem, or did i just get luckey? lol! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, G.

Might need to program your tire size into the PCM. I could be way off - just a thought.

if the tire size wasn't programmed into the PCM, wouldn't the speedometer read wrong? or am i just an idiot? lol

If you know who did the lift, take it back. It definitely sounds like the lift is causing your problem. I've heard others with similar issues after a lift and not immediately after it,sometimes months after.

okay. thanks for the input. i might need to find someone closer by, because i live in kennesaw, ga and the place that did the lift is in worrior, al... do you think a dealership may be able to do something or no? would it be better to find a specialty shop? just curious to how the lift could be causing this, if you know...

thank you rxsteven. i just wish i could get this issue figured out. lol

I don't know what happens just that the lift throws something out of wack, but it is correctable. I would go with a speciality shop that works on 4x4s and lifts.
