well this probably should be in 911 diesel down but ohh well.
on the way home from work today i hit the brakes and the abs light came on i felt a little vibration in the pedal but have felt it for about a week and a half now(also have seen light on 2 other occasions[goes off and stays off once truck is shut off]). so as i pulled on to my street i decided to check the breaks so i speed up and slam the brakes 3 or 4 times each time after i slam the brake and i try to touch the brakes they go almost to the floor without brakeing power. but then i give it a second and there back and i speed up and slam on the brakes... finnally i pulled in front of my house and pumped the breaks about 10 times... i didnt feel a complete presssure loss but there was definetly some pressure loss. waited 2 min checked under the truck and there was no puddles so i check the resivor and it was right up to the max full line. i was a little dark in color but that shouldnt affect the brakeing power... i dont think...
any help greatly appreciatted....:thanks

I'd be looking at things like a wheel speed sensor tripping out... maybe but unlikely the hydra-boost unit malfunctioning (you did check the power steering fluid, right?)
