Traction light comes up, can't go above 2.5k rpms
 
hey guys, i just replaced my brake bads, on my way home my traction light would come up intermittently and wouldnt let me go above 2.5rpms. it happened like 3-4 times in a 1 hour ride. during the times that it does come on, if i step on the gas the traction light will blink and when i let off the gas, it wouldnt. if i let coast for a minute or 2 it'll be fine again. but i think it's when i hit a really big bump, but i'm not sure.

anyways, i was wondering you guys might have an idea as to whats going on or any opinions would be great. thanks!

oh yea, i just got tires rotated and the rear tires are different sizes, one is 225/45 and the other is 225/35, would that mess up my LSD? or could it be the reason why my traction lights coming on?

I think that this is your problem. How about rotating the tires again and see if that fixes your problem.

ok thanks guys!
btw i had no choice but to get a different size tires, i had a flat couple months ago on a sunday afternoon and i needed to get somewhere. without a flat, i had no choice!
225/45s are hard to find! especially on a sunday afternoon!

245/40 would be a closer size if im not mistaken.
