| Description of the problem | (1) i was descending down a snow covered hill. (2) anti-lock brakes engaged and appeared to lock up the wheels. The anti-lock brakes did not slow the vehicle, nor did they allow me to turn. The abs system did not disengage until about 1 full second after i released the brake completely. I came very close to rolling the truck into a gully. (3) i pulled the abs breaker, and have had no further problems even on the same hill. *jb |
