Alright, i tried to stop at a stop sign earlier today while at work. Parked the truck, started it up and drove home when i got to my driveway I noticed that the ABS light was on and when I shut off the truck the door dinger was dingin' with the lights in the normal automatic position and the key out. I started the truck up again to see if maybe the ABS light would go off, but nothing. The light is still on... I just clicked 50000 miles, is there something with our trucks around 50000 miles?

 

 

Thanks guys and input would be great.

Have you checked your brake fluid? Your truck has the right amount of miles for the fluid to be mostly in the caliper pistons...

 

If you add any, it might be a good idea to take some back out when you replace your front brakes.

 

This guy fixed his once by adding fluid...

Unfortunately at this time of year, it's pretty likely in the rust belt states for salty water to get on the sensors inside the wheel hubs, so you might just have an obscured sensor. If you have this, the light won't come on after a fresh start until you start moving.

Mike... Thanks for the input! Actually, i have a set of Husky rubber floor mats on the floor of my truck, I usually push mine way up under the gas pedel to do away with the bouncy fly by wire throttle system (it seems to give the pedal a little more friction for me). Well This morning i was driving and i went to push my ass back on the seat a little and slid the floor matt back with me. Well as soon as i did the light went off. Do you think maybe there is something up under the dashboard that the floor mat was hitting?

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the rubber mat was restraining the rod from the master cylinder from pushing the brake pedal all the way to its "up" position... but it's just a guess.

That could be... I wouldn't think there is anything under the dash other than what your are telling me. But maybe if that floor mat was sitting on the rod and keeping it from coming back up all the way, maybe it threw a sensor, thinking there was another reason why the rod wasnt coming all the way back up. I'll keep ya posted if it comes on again, but so far it hasnt since I moved the mat.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
