Hi Chris
Not sure but this thread and Julian V's comment at the end. Was about ABS coming in on one wheel at very low speed on normal stop. It might also be something else given your truck's knuckle was previously badly repaired by a butcher not a mechanic.
Good luck

This is a very common ABS problem.
Grease on the ring and the sensor isn't really a problem - if there isn't grease on them the chances are you may not have enough grease in your knuckle.
The sensor is magnetic so can be affected if you get bits of metal sticking to it, like shards from worn CVs,, otherwise you don't get much metal floating around in the knuckle.
The main problem seems to be that the sensors loose their magnetism and don't work properly. You can adjust the shims on the sensor so that it sits closer to the ring, but the only real way of testing it is to use an oscilliscope to check the signal from the sensor. I've got a few customers who have been experiencing these problems so have so have bought an oscilliscope to pin down the problem and am getting in stock of replacement sensors at discounted prices - my truck is first on the list to get sorted

I had a problem with my front brakes ABS'ing easily. After I cleaned all the metal swarf off the front sensors when I rebuilt the front hubs all was OK. Never had a light stay on but could this be his problem Jon? Just a thought.

- perhaps the other hub ABS sensor has some swarf on it?
