I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH,ALOUD HUMMING NOISE STARTED,AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON.I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION,BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED.I FOUND THE HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK,ON THE DRIVERS SIDE,UNDER DOOR AREA.THERE IS A BLACK"BOX" WITH 2 ELECTRICAL PLUGS.IT WAS NECESSARY TO PULL ONE OF THE PLUGS TO GET THE HUMMING TO STOP.BUT NOW MY ABS LIGHT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME ON DASH.TOOK THE TRUCK TO ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP,AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS PUMP AND MODULE BOTH WENT BAD.I WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPAIRS WOULD BE $1685.66.I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BOTH PARTS WENT BAD.THE TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.NOW I AM DRIVING WITH MY TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION,BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AVAILABLE CASH ON HAND TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE.(2) BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS RATTLE WHEN THEY ARE DOWN.IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR DOWN...
