ok so here's the deal. lately iv been noticing a lot of wheel spin via the T/C light coming on on my speedo.. when its wet outside and i get on it a little i get a lot of wheel spin.. (rear wheels)

Doesn't seem right

could this be the trans case going out/ problem?...

My 07 Has 23k miles and im confused.. suggestions would be great.

That means Traction Control and is normal.

what i mean is that im gettin a lot of rear wheel spin and not alot of front wheel pull if you know what i mean.

I get the same. I do think its normal, at least with tuned vehicles (do you have a tune?) and reduced torque management.

It could also mean you have Goodyear tires...:thinkerg:

My 07 does it also....I may be wrong here, but if the roads are slick you may want to push the TC button for better traction. anyone know?

sounds like a good idea since you push it when there is alot of snow on the ground to get better traction....:confused:

mine has done it more lately also... maybe you are just getting it breaking in... if you feel your front grab after a second or so your working

Never push the TC button if your not in extremely need of it! It will burn your transfercase!!!

i never got this^^^ why does pulling the motor power down hurt the TC?
