I bought a 95 S-10 Blazer new that had anti-lock brakes. I swear if you spit on the road and drove across it while braking, the anti-locks would go on. I've been told that they can be reprogrammed. Often when on ice and you hit the brakes and the vehicle slides, you get a sensation that it speeds up. I've had a whole bunch of cars and trucks since then with anti-locks and haven't had a problem. I did change tire size on the Blazer from the factory size and went one size bigger. That could have been the problem.

When I'm in those situations, I lock the brakes so the tires are sliding and then drop it in reverse and accelerate. It works when it is a close call! You have to be careful because all of a sudden you are going backwards and the guy behind you will panic.
