2 Speed Sensor problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 01/16/2016

As I come to a stop, the brake pedal pulsates from abs activation increasing braking time and distance. The ground is dry while this happens. After a while the and light comes on. Was told by a dealer mechanic it was a bad abs sensor and to replace hub. I did and now, two years later, it is happening again. Now I'm being told it is a problem with elements in my area, being in a snowbelt state, getting into wheel speed sensor and blocking signal. Same exact symptoms as last time, different diagnosis. Neither time did they plug into my truck for codes. Both times, I have to open my wallet for faulty products.

The wheel speed sensor for the abs system is affected on multiple trucks chevy produced from 99-06.
