    I'm hoping someone can answer this because the dealership is of no help because no code was created when this happened.

    I was starting my drive to work on a level road with no water or obstacles, and the LSD engaged as if I was on a slippery surface. The truck acted like I was losing control, and I essentially lost the ability to drive over 10 mph for a second. It disengaged, and I was able to drive normally. I turned off Auto LSD, but it reengaged a mile later under the same conditions. After turning the truck off and back on again, it did not reoccur for the rest of my drive.

    Weird experience...

    One thing a lot of us do if we experience what seems to be an electrical glitch is to disconnect the negative battery terminal for a least 10 minutes and then re-connect. It supposedly resets some of the ECU BS (kinda) like re-booting your phone or computer. If it happens again, you may want to give that a try.

    Also, take a quick photo of your dash lights that are firing off (if you can safely do so) to post w/your follow up... Just helps us make sure we're all on the same page when trying to help out :thumbsup:

    Hopefully, it was just a one time problem; and welcome to the forum!!!

    Probably some metal shaving on wheel speed sensors, get some brake cleaner and clean it.

    Thanks everyone! I will do the battery trick and work on the wheel speed sensors. I'm still baffled by the dealership just shrugging it off and not even trying to diagnose it, but I knew I could find help here. Will follow up if anything develops
