From a stop, when I hit the accelerator, the truck begins to move and then hesitates and the traction control kicks-in briefly. When I let off the gas a little, the issue clears and I can then accelerate as normal. If I turn off the traction control, then the issue does not occur. Any thoughts? Thanks.

See your other post about the noise, TC uses the same sensor system as the ABS unit so any issues with them creates a problem in the traction controls as well.

Appreciate the feedback, Steve. Was curious if the two might be related, which at least leaves less to diagnose. Thanks!
