He said that he has never seen one fail, but when I get sick of the feeling to have the rearend replaced. He said that it has something to due with the traction control "govenors". I will be taking the vehicle to a GM dealership (since this is drivetrain related and under the 100k warranty. I was wondering if anyone could clarify, deny or add to the "axle guys" claims. As I would like to be as specific as possible when talking to the dealership. Thanks in advance, for any help you may offer.
It should not be kicking in unless one wheel is spinning.
If it is under warranty let the dealer take care of it.
Let us know how it goes.
