THE RESULT OF WHICH CAUSED MORE THAN A FEW CRASHES WITH THE TRUCK. MY EMPLOYER'S BROTHER WAS A MECHANIC FOR A FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ANTI LOCK COMPUTER ON MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLE'S OF THAT MODEL YEAR SAYING THAT IF A VEHICLE CAME IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE TO CHECK THE NUMBER OF THE COMPUTER AND IF IT WAS ANY DIFFERENT THAN ONE CERTAIN NUMBER. TO REPLACE IT WITH OUT THE OWNER KNOWING IT WAS REPLACED.

AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE DURING THOSE 2.5 YEARS EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IS THERE ANY WAY FOR YOU PEOPLE TO CHECK INTO THIS NOT
