While riding with a friend in his 2001 silverado pickup, I noticed what seemed to be a grinding sound from the brakes just before the truck came to a stop. About a week ago, around Nov. 1st. My 2003 GMC Sierra pickup started making the same grinding sound, (anti-lock activation). This happens on clear, dry pavement with no reason for the anti-lock system to activate. This problem does not occur every time I stop and I have not been able to make this happen during intentional hard stops. I notice that my stopping distance is extended when this happens. It is my understanding that gm has had a recall in canada for this issue but has not had enough complaints in the us to initiate a recall. My truck has 37,000 miles on it at this time.
