I know there is recalls on the abs for these trucks I just not sure what years also on some of them you have to bleed out the abs unit too when you bleed brakes. but I'd look into the recalls if I were you.

I've had the issue before on my old truck, which was a 97 Sierra. I believe the issue is, that the speed sensors get rusty and corroded, and so they can't accurately tell what speed the wheels are going. Hence, they kick in the ABS too early. I think the fix is to see what sensors are bad, and replace them.

Glad you got it fixed! Did you do it yourself, or have a shop do it?
