THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES COME ON INTERMITENTLY WHEN COMMING TO A SLOW CONTROLLED STOP IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION. I PULLED THE FUSE THE CONTROLS THE ABS SYSTEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING BECAUSE I FIGURE IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND ISN'T UNDER WARANTY ANY LONGER. YESTERDAY I READ IN THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER DRIVING SECTION ABOUT OTHER MOTORIST HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON 1998 CHEVY TRUCKS. I THOUGHT THAT SOUNDS LIKE MY PROBLEM. THE ARTICLE SUGGESTED THAT WE CONTACT YOU BECAUSE NO ONE INCLUDING THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIGANOSE THIS PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED A FAILURE OF AN INCLEMENT WEATHER SENSOR. I AM CONCENED BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A HEAVY VEHICLE AND ABS ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL A VEHCILE BETTER IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I CAN PROVIDE THE VIN IF YOU NEED IT I JUST DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT NOW AT WORK.*AK
