ABS works sometimes..

couple weeks ago I posted a message about my ABS not working. Some one suggested that I run the truck in the grass and lock up the brakes.Great advice, worked just like you said it would. Could feel & hear the brakes pulsing. Problem is, this fix only last for a couple days.The system works great when it works, but I have to reset in the grass ever few days. No ABS light, new pads all around, new tires, stock size. I drive on average,50 miles a day. Any suggestion what might cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ro...

I have a 2000 model and I replaced the rotors and had the same issue. The parts stors sold me the wrong rotors. Check for a gear pattern inside rotors. My ABS sensor is on each of the front wheels reading a gear patern inside the rotors.
