First off, long time reader. I love the stuff you guys are doing to your rigs. It helped me build mine.
So, why am I posting now, for the first time - well I need help obviously!
Basics about my rig:
'99 100 series
175,00 miles
Slee lift with diff drop
295/75 Nitto Terra Grapplers
Two weeks ago - new pads all the way around, new front rotors
My problem:
The Brake and ABS dash indicators are on along with a high pitched tone and I have intermittent braking. My son drove it to the store and when came home he asked me if they were on before, which they were not. My daughter in got in it about two hours later to run some errands and the indicator lights were on with that annoying tone. Around the block an no issues but when we came to the light at the bottom of the hill, alas, no brakes. Luckily no one was in front of us so I took a right at the light and after pumping the brakes,(which I don't think did a thing) I brought the truck to a stop. I restarted the truck which resulted in no change. I slowly drove two blocks home. During that time the brakes came on and went off a few times.
I found this thread which sounds like my problem but it's a few years old and I was wondering if anyone else could help shed any light on the situation.
