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 ...so last Friday I hit one, truck is currently getting fixed with new body panels

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 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 as far as the brakes. i don't think you can tweak it. you might have a glaze on the rotors.
