    I provide my own traction control. Bumps be ######. That's what the airride is for.

    Now the thing my older tractors used to do is stall the old iron, the natural non computer engine, there you are at 70 with a dead engine, time to go through the restart.

    Just get one of those cattle bumpers to push the bums to the side. That way you won’t loose traction when they go under the wheels.

    That's not traction control. That's actually abs kicking on thinking you're in some poor road conditions. There's nothing wrong and it's normal

    On my 2013 KW it does same thing if road is bad and especially if I'm bobtailing. There is traction control button on my truck. It has off, automatic and full time settings. I usually leave mine on automatic.

    I was wondering when someone was going to finally give solid, pertinent advice to the OP’s question.
