    Noticed this for the second time today..

    My parents have this slight, for a lack of better words, double hump in their drive way. If I hit it at the wrong angle, the traction control light flashes and what sounds like a creaky bed comes from under the truck (assume that's the differential making the sound).

    If I'm turning off lets say a flat level road onto a downward drive/road. That change from flat to downward elevation causes the same scenario.

    Anyone else have this issue, know if this causing any internal damage, or what's causing it?

    It’s the traction control doing it’s thing. The traction control uses the ABS system. Scared the crap out of me first time it happened to me. Thought I was scraping my under carriage on a rock when I was off-road; nope, just traction control.
