An "is this normal" question..
Alright, so i'm from pennsylvania- roads can get pretty bad here at some points. When i'm not in 4wheel and the truck gets a little squirrely and spins tire- the parking brake light comes on. Is this normal? like just a dummy light comming on to tell me that my bedside is at my passenger window?
Also, my ABS seems to make more noise than any other ABS ive felt/heard. When the ABS kicks in it vibes real loud- like a cell phone on a wooden table x10. Anyone else's this loud?
Thanks

Not sure when the last brake job was, the vibe seems to be comming from the front left? but the rotors aren't warped-no vibe or jolt in the steering wheel when braking- bought the truck with 11,000 miles on it, now its around 18k. Pads look fine as well as rotors. im hoping maybe i'm just being a little too observant..

The abs does indeed sound like a very loud vibrating phone but the steering wheel should not shake. This sound lets you know that the abs is working so I think what your experiencing is normal.
As for the light on when the wheels are spinning???
Well that sounds like the rear abs/speed sensor pick up in the rear diff getting a little squirrly.
Does the light come on when you spin the wheels up on a wet/dry surface or only on snow/mud?

However, I believe some Dodge model trucks have this traction control and some don't?
Someone will chime in.
If yours doesn't have this feature, the pickup on top of the pumpkin which gets a feed from the toner ring in the diff, might have a problem?
Either that or your ABS sensors/system has an errror.
Have you looked for a code?
I must admit, my 03 light does not come on when I spin the wheels on any surface either.
