Traction Control??
I've got a 98 C-5...
Does anyone know if running the traction control "on"..causes more wear than turning it off?
What about fuel economy..does it degrade it?

NO and NO
The TC only retard engine timing and applies the breaks when the sensors see wheel spin. Shutting it off just shuts off the sensors. TC has saved me a few times, that is why I always leave it on, until I am on the track, which is not very often.
