Finally a fix for those with larger tires and traction control issues
New TSB 11-02-05 for 2009-10 F150. Reporgramming ABS module for tracion control light flashing. I reprogrammed my truck last week and have had no issues since. I have Goodyear Duratrac's 275/70/18. Hopefully the dealer won't give you a hard time about the lift and larger tires but with the TSB and a known issue they should take care of you.
ISSUE:
Some 2009-2010 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a condition where the Trac Control indicator is flashing or illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) C1278, C1280, C1282 and C1963 stored in the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module. In addition, some customers may complain of intermittent nuisance activation of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) during low speed turning maneuvers while towing a trailer only.
ACTION:
Reprogram the ABS module to the latest calibration using IDS release 71.02 and higher.

I had this done and it works. I am glad there is finally a fix.
My local dealer wouln't do it because of my larger tires. They kept claiming it wouldn't work and refused to even discuss the TSB.
I went to another dealer and they downloaded the TSB from Ford and updated it on my truck. Took less than an hour and it was fixed.
I found myself a new dealer.
