2002 Silverado brake problems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone here have issues with the brakes dragging. I replaced all 4 calipers and pads, pulled the front wheel sensors and cleaned them and put never seize on them and went for a drive and all 4 rotors were hot. I hate just changing parts but I think the ABS module is too blame as it activates coming to a complete stop and I can feel them pulsing when driving. I am going to pull the ABS fuse today and see if that helps but what are the chances it is the master and not the abs module.

Have you tried replace in the hoses? When i change caplier i also install new hoses. It could be anything from the master cylinder sticking to a bad abs pump or blockage in ghe lines

I guess I am going to drive with no ABS fuse for awhile. I replaced the ABS module yesterday and the brakes dragged as soon as I left the shop. I pulled the fuse and they were fine. All lines were bled and am ruling out a hose or master problem because it only happens when the ABS fuse is in. I may have gotten a bad ABS module but who's to know, I guess I drove for 20 years without ABS and am to frustrated to deal with it anymore now. I will change my front hub assembly's with Timken units later this year but until then I will deal with the ABS light on. To make matters worse I picked my truck up and never noticed the broken passenger mirror, someone must have bumped it, another 100.00 bill to the repair.
