Does anything light up on the dash? Are you sure its just not the traction control kicking in? Either way, both let you know when it activates, on my 2010 anyway.

Yes, the symbol lights up on the dash and it's not the traction control its the differential. It won't shut off now. I took it to the shop and will know later if it's just the switch or something major (hope not, just bought the truck)

No dis', but the questions that you're asking are all answered in the owner's manual. Take some time to aclimate yourself with your vehicle.
