ECS "slip" activation while cornering with bracket lifted truck
anyone out there with bracket lifted rigs have issues with the slip light coming on and the ECS system trying to compensate during fairly low speed corners like freeway on/off ramps after installing your lift? mines kinda going haywire at anything over 25 mph in turns with any kind of body roll since the lift.
i've checked all the tires pressures to make sure nothings hokie and the wheel sensors aren't throwing anything off.
couldn't find another thread on this issue so anyone got any ideas?
don't want the dealer to pull the old "you lifted it so you live with it" cr*p until i know for sure whether it's related to the lift (which i assume it is)

Have you been in a lot of mud lately? Maybe a good cleaning of the wheel sensors is needed. This sounds like some kind of error in the wheel sensors.
Another thing to check is whether the wheel sensor wires are long enough. With that much lift the wires could be getting stretched only when they body rolls (or at full extension if you off road it).

Haven't been in the mud (mostly cause we haven't seen any in SoCal in almost a year) but maybe some sand in em? didn't see any wheel sensor codes or anything, that's what made we wonder what it could be.
should be plenty of slack in the sensor wiring as it's been re-routed from the stock hangers so doubt that's it but i'll give it another quick peek. not seeing the "slip" light when its twisted so doubt it's stretching them farther during low speed corners than it is off road.
thanks for the input, hoping someone has seen this before
odd thing i just remembered, it does it more often when turning right than it does when turning left. don't know if that helps to do anything but confuse it further...

Are you sure you are not spinning one of the rear tires? Pretty easy to do without you knowing it.
The 33 MTs are usually pretty "outspoken" when they spin so unlikely I'd miss that.
And definitely not spinning them on decel into an off ramp, which is when it's far more likely to occur. Though it does happen occasionally when I'm hitting on ramps too.
wondering if the rear leaves are wrapping far enough with the giant blocks to throw the sensors off? Not sure how that would happen since there's no inclinometer that I'm aware of, unless there is one on the hill descent assist package on my Pro-4???

hadn't even thought of that. have you had the same issue? i hope not considering the lift and tires have only been on for about 10 1/2 months but that would answer some questions i guess.
i'll check that. thanks

yep, happened to me a month ago. ABS and SLIP lights would come on randomly. Couldn't figure it out so I broke down and took it in to the stealership. They couldn't figure it out for a couple hours and finally put it on the lift and sure enough the passenger front wheel bearing was BAD...very bad. Whole wheel would shake and shimmy. They replaced with new bearing unit and it's fixed.

good to know, though i'll be pretty bummed if i'm only gonna get 10 months outta these bearings with the lift/tire/wheel combo i've got.
i'll check this weekend and update with the findings.
thanks much for the input!
anyone have a recommendation for an HD aftermarket wheel bearing assy?
if the stockers are only gonna lst 10 months i'm either gonna need to buy stock in the company or find a better option
