One problem related to anti-lock brakes fail has been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The antilock brakes failed to allow vehicle to stop. Abs engaged itself on dry pavement at low speed. After trying to repeat the problem, I found it occured intermittently; and if it did it was while braking at 7 mph. The only way to stop the vehicle in abs "mode" is firmly press pedal to floor and allow 3 times the stopping distance. I have since removed the abs fuse and the truck stops normally.
