Been over a week since i installed my mcgaughys 2 3 drop now with no issues until this morning. Now when i take slow right turns the traction light comes on. Now what how do i fix it. I already had an alignment. Should i take it to the dealer.

Mine did that a couple times within the first couple weeks and it never happened again after I got an alignment. Not sure I wouldn't just wait a little while before you go to the dealer. Is the Tahoe still under warranty? They may try to say something about you lowering it, if so.

yeah im wondering if my alignmnet is still off i did hit a couple rough potholes the other day. when mine was done only toe was adjusted. camber was only off by .2 degrees and i dont think theres a caster adjustment. it only happens turning left i notice at about 15 mph sharply.

Has nothing to do with the camber or alignment issue. The dealer probably going to tell you to raise it back up. Most of us that are lowered get this but blow it off as part of being lowered. What size wheels are you running?

Im on stock LTZ 20s right now for winter but have 305/35/24s sitting in my garage for as soon as old man winter moves out. do you have this issue? i spoke to someone from Mcgaughys and was told if i have this light it is my alignment,they said the truck thinks it is going to roll over there fore setting the light and applying the breaks. some say alignment fixes it, i have heard everything from tight ABS wires, to incorrectly built spindles. im lost. luckily on another forum i did find that someone found some type of TSB for lowered vehicles and said that they brought it to the dealer and it didnt fix anything, but on the GMfullsized forum i found that one guy got his EBCM re-flashed and it solved the issue. so besides alignment that was the only other thing i read that actually solved the issue. and i just feel that if i have to deal with this light and ABS pulse, i might as well go back up to stock. not that what your saying is not true but i dont understand why some people have NO ISSUES at all and others say Just live with it....theres got to be a solution.

I understand. Just raise it back up. I have Belltech suspension parts with airbags and I still have the problem. I like others just deal with it.
Good luck :Handshake:

Mine does it too. It can be easily fixed for an extra $100 if you go to the dealer. A quick search would have revealed that fact to you.
