Thanks BR.
I rarely drive the thing. I still run around in an old 180K 93 Astro. I have a '04 Avalanche, but rarely drive it. I will take the Lumina out for a spin tonight and into work tomorrow for the wife. She said she is noticing the traction control light coming on. Wierd thing is, I didn't know I had the option to turn it off. Will read the manual. She also said there is a whine coming from the right side. We have replaced the alternator before. I have a hunch that's what that might be.
