slipping back brakes?
 
today i had to slam on the brakes to avoid hiting a deer i missed it barely but it seemed like my back brakes gave out or slipped and my truck lunged forward i dont know if this is the anti lock brake system or not but is there anyway i can fix it? i have brand new brakes on the truck any help would be great :humm:

Your anti-lock is allowing them to let loose a bit, mine will do the same thing. Why did you miss it? Even my insurance agent told me damage done hitting a deer won't look as bad as if I damaged the truck to miss one :humm: ...so last Friday I hit one, truck is currently getting fixed with new body panels :jump:

h aha well i didnt want my air bags to go off otherwise my insurance would total my truck if they went off and i don't want to have a salvaged title on my truck lol otherwise id hit it and it was a small fawn didn't want to end its life so soon hopefully it will walk in front of my stand during hunting seasons years later

anyway to fix the slipage on the brakes? i know the anti lock brakes will slip but this is realy bad anyway to tweak it?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! do you have any idea how hard it is to set of the air bags on these pickups?? you have to push the headlights into the back seat pretty much lol as far as the brakes. i don't think you can tweak it. you might have a glaze on the rotors.

haha good point bud my buddy smashed his dodge font end was gone air bags didnt go off a fireman hit the fender near the side of the motor or what was left and it went off... some safety feature broke his neck because of it some dumbass hit him at 60mph while he was at a dead stop and he plowed into someone else it was bad :ouch:
