    2015 Tacoma. Lifted with 33” tires. Problem: While driving on dry freeway at around 70 mph my car will suddenly start to shake, immediately lose acceleration and the LSD car icon will go on. Very scary. Any ideas why this is happening and how to make it go away. Thank you.

    Form follows function
    Any play on the propeller shaft when you get under the truck? Any loose bolts? Any frame rust?

    It's an abs error, you need to check for codes using a scanner capable of it.

    Start by checking the wires from the frame to each hub, typically on lifted trucks the upper control arm wires are stretched.

    Also the harness from near the gas tank to the rear axle tends to get damaged when offroading.

    Was your VSC recalibrated after the lift and tires were installed?

    You need to do this; I had the same issues. In fact I was turning into my driveway and the ABS Light kicked on like crazy; I lost all brakes and nearly hit a tree.

    I don’t know. I bought the truck modified. I took it to a Toyota dealership and told them I wanted a 0 point calibration and they told me because my truck had been modified they couldn’t do it
