    None, yet....
    If swapping to stock solves your problem, then you have a tire issue. If the problem persists and they can recreate the effect seen by the tech stream data, you have an issue with the Hall effect sensors reading, the sensors themselves, or possibly debris in the reluctor rings giving false readings.

    Good to hear the tire guy is willing to help.

    I forgot about the ABS reluctor rings. I've seen some pulled off and were mis-shapened due to crud buildup. Caused all sorts of problems but didn't cause limp mode if I recall correctly. (Not that it can't) This whole limp mode thing just plain sucks.

    Any update on the tire issue? Did swapping the tires fix the problem?

    Sounds very similar to what Joe Shaker went through. I can't find him nor that thread. Did he delete his account? Do you know @Grey Wolf ?

    I am now running 38 in front 34 in the rear. I was at 36 in front and it appeared to need a little more wear in the center so I upped the pressure.

    Was there ever a resolution to JoeShaker's problem? I read through both of his threads and never noticed one. Nitto Exo or Ridge Grapplers are on my list of tires I'd like to get later this year, but now I am a little hesitant. 2 members having similar traction control issues and both with Nitto seems weird.

    Nitto Tires and no updates with resolutions seem to be the common things here, don’t they?

    Update: I still have the same issue. I removed the Bullydog Tuner from the truck and the issue stopped. I had the performance tune on it set on Perf Shift, Perf throttle, unlimited speed and it tripped it every time. Took it out (BDT) of the truck and it went away. Re installed it removing 1 performance setting at a time and still tripped it. Did all this with BullDog TS on the phone. So they made a full report and sent it to the engineers. Its been 3 weeks and I have not heard a word from them.

    So I still have it installed and I have to disable the nannies every key cycle and that blows. Im not sure if its the power increase lifting the front of the truck when taking off or the wheels breaking loose. Sorry for the delay in updating guys Ive been very busy at my shop.

    That sucks. Just to be clear, the truck still had issues with the Bully Dog and stock sized tires or is it just with the Nittos?

    I guess the bullydog is the problem. Not the tires or the truck. Easy fix. Not sure how I missed you having a tune in it.

    Interesting that @Joeshaker also had a bullydog tuner involved, at least partway though his ordeal.

    I'm running 285's on the front and 305's on the rear both BFG T/A KO's traction control lights up some times and slow down truck then when I back out of it light goes out and returns to normal. It's 4x4 but the selector will not engage so can't use 4x4 anyway. What will be the mechanical failings of this set-up. Will it damage transmission or transfer case.
