Braking Issues

[Mohawk1]

I bought a 2001 Chevy S-10 Pick-Up. every now and then I am getting a Stiff Break Pedal, Not all the time but maybe once in 10 to 15 break applications.

When this happens I can not get the Truck to Stop. But if I remove my foot from the pedal and reapply pressure it will Stops Fine.

Concerned for Sudden stopping. can any one advise me please.

Can anyone advise me of what to look for?


Thank You

Does this have ABS?

[Mohawk1]

Yes it does have ABS.

Does the pedal shudder under your foot. Or is just sort of rock hard.?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP,

The pedal Shutters when I apply it but when I let up and Reapply pressure it stops without shuttering.

Find the abs fuse and remove it, no harm, it just disables the abs, so careful on slippery roads. See if the problem goes away.
