I really don't know about the Manual, this conversation does not apply to Manual.

So turning it off dissables the ABS controll traction control on all wheels correct?

I believe there are three systems at least...

Electronic Traction Control
ABS (Automatic Braking System)
Stabilitrak


I haven't tried it in low range locked up yet.

If you have a stabilitrak button, it may be a dummy??? Put the truck in 4lo lock 1st gear, and see if you get the warning on the DIC.

I guess the weak link is the Al diff housing with all the torque from the 4:1 t-case.

According to my sources at GM, the problem is twofold. It is the aluminum housing and a ring gear that may not have been hardened properly. They are looking for a fix to the housing issue, and they are increasing the (?fancy word for) tensil strength of the ring gear.

f5fstop!!! where are you??
