Safety recall
I have a friend who had a few near accidents due to the same anti-lock brake issue on his GMC 1500 truck (2000-2001ish I think?).
Great programming by the engineers at GM - even with a defective/corroded sensor - why on earth would anti-lock brakes activate at speeds less than 10-15 mph???
A couple of weeks ago I started my 2003 2500HD pickup and began to back it out of the garage - when I noticed I had no power steering. I went to apply the brakes, and I had to stand on the brake pedal to get it to stop (no power brakes either.) I checked the serpantine belt (it was fine), turn it on/off again - same thing. An hour later I decided to drive it to my heated barn to check it out. When I started it up, I had a whining noise - that went away and all was fine. It's still under warranty (15k miles) and of course the dealer could find nothing.
Just waiting for that to happen again when I'm pulling a 7000 pound trailer.

Safety recall

Glad to see your pickup is going well (with the exception of the recall). I've been pretty lucky so far with my vehicles. My 1990 GMC S15 made it to 160k without anything major wrong with it. That was replaced with a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee (company vehicle) - I still have that - and am rather amazed at the lack of drivetrain issues at 193k (the AC has been another story).
The 2500HD is basically the replacement for the Jeep, but since the Jeep still gets me places, it's kind of a part-timer right now.
