On my 2002 silverado, the abs activates at low speeds causing brakes to pulse and increase stopping distance. Clearly nhtsa reference #05v379000 states that this only affects certain states.

I noticed my brakes starting to feel soft after a panic stop and a leak under my truck. The leak was traced to the brake lines under the truck cab leading to the antilock brake valve. Root cause of failure was extensive corrosion to the brake lines. All brake lines will have to be replaced. I am the original owner of this truck. *tr
