Hope you get it resolved.
My ABS makes me feel like im on a washboarded road when I hit it (no matter how hard/soft). Replaced rotors and pads, and still no help...I think my motor is going out.

black04silverado, your problem sounds like a bad ABS pump or a bad transmission speed sensor. Did the truck throw any codes?
Modern_Muscle, sounds to me like you have a bad wheel speed sensor causing a constant unnecessary ABS activation. Check each sensor for fraid/loose/corroded wiring.....after that you will have to replace them.

black04silverado, you need to get the right kind of scan tool on there to retrieve ABS codes, a generic OBDII scanner won't do it. Something like a TechII or other capable scan tool is necessary.
If you had the right scan tool and still didn't get any codes, the ABS module may be faulty. There's a guy at modulemaster.com (google it, I'm not 100% sure of the address), who repairs the ABS modules for around $100...if that's your issue.

There's a ground that's common to corossion, I believe it's on the driver's side frame rail or something...hopefully someone will chime in with the exact location. If lights are coming on by themselves though, I'd think that a short or water in a junction block or in a connector would be something I'd be trying to troubleshoot.
