[john walker's workshop]

i'm looking to buy a used, '98 to '03, chevrolet or dodge pickup. ex cab, 4X, longbed. i had a '88 gmc ex cab 4x longbed several years ago and the ABS braking system was so poorly designed that the brakes would release whenever the back end got to bouncing around. going down bumpy hills was fun. i wonder if this has been fixed yet, or GM is still denying that there is a problem. i never had a cyrysler product, but the ram trucks sure look good. i want gas not diesel, and probably a small block. any input from chevy or dodge pickup owners about longevity of the components or other problems?
