ABS and 4X4?
?03 4X4 Z71 first time I have had it off the pavement.
Took a 80+ miles trip on Forest Service roads, tried some small
hills (no lift), and keeping it sane I was by myself.
I hit a washboard on a gravel road with some good holes.
When I hit the brakes it felt like my front end
was coming off and my brake paddle lost some pressure.
I have just over 1k on new rotor's and pads on all 4. After I change my
shorts and few choice words I checked the AVY out.
It all seemed fine, so on I go. Hitting the brakes often, all
normal. Same thing happen next washboard, no problem
on smother gravel but I could make it happen any time
on washboards or hitting holes. This happened in 4Auto
and 2 wheel. I switched bake and forth. So trying to make
this happen to try and feel what was going on, it seem the
brakes were modulating so that is why I'm hopping it is
the ABS.
So being new to ABS on a 4X4 is this the ABS kicking in,
or do I have something else going on?
Checked it out when I got home all normal.
I drove about another 80 miles later in the day on freeway
and in town no problems.
