Brake problems

Arrow: Your '99 has 4 wheel disks, possibly 4 channel anti lock as well. I would try:

1. checking for pad wear on all 4 corners, replace if needed
2. Look at any wheel sensors you can see at the rotors (Warning Light?)
3. Check for buildup of ice or debris of any kind on the rotors/sensors
4. Follow wiring from sensors as far as you can looking for damage
5. If your truck is 3 channel, there is a sensor on the ring gear in the rear diff. Check it's wiring and connections coming from the rear end.
6. Try calling a dealer (different one?) and asking for opinions, they may help you.

Let us know what (if anything) you find.

Brake problems

Arrow: another thought-- Is your truck a 4x4? If it is, then shifting to 4wd "should" deactivate the ABS.

Brake problems

Disc brakes are great to work on, aren't they? I can change the front brakes on my Dodge 3/4 ton in less than 45 min, including 16 lug nuts, pads and DA rotor scuff (rotors are part of the bearing assembly). BTW my Dodge uses the same calipers and pads as a Chebby. Thanks to the DANA 60 axle.

My rear brakes are drums, with 150k miles on them and still have a lot of shoe left.
