I had the same problem with my 1999 Chevy Silverado. The ABS light came on at about 51k.
The new module cost 1092.50.
After reading these other comments with the same problem
and very little mileage I also believe GM should provide
compensation.
Well, the ABS went on my 1999 Chevy Silverado LS (which only has 36,000 miles on it) this morning. After doing a little internet research I found this site. I was quoted $1,130.00 for parts and labor. I pulled the fuse and am going to run the truck without ABS. I'm going to file complaints with every agency that will listen, and I'm going to contact GM via phone, certified mail, and email. After reading all of the comments on this site I'm not too optimistic that Chevy will fix it for me for free, but I'll take a few months to pursue all options before forking over my 1,110 bucks! If anybody decides to bring a class action or has any insight, I can be emailed at: ifields1@pride.hofstra.edu.

I have same problem with 1999 Chev P/U ABS light came on with noise at 36,000 miles. Called dealer about $800 to fix.. We need something done by Chev and GMC to pay for fixing ABS..
I have a 1997 Z71 4X4 and the buzzing only happens when applying the brakes. Started at about 90k miles have 110k now. My son has the same problem only diff is a year newer. Pull the fuse???
1999 Z71 Chevrolet: I also have the fuel gauge problem and appreciate everyone's comments regarding their resolution to the problem. In response to the 4WD light coming on, I had to replace the 4WD module which is part of the buttons in the dash. Cost about $55 from dealer and only takes a screwdriver and about 5 minutes to swap. I feared that it would eventually stick in 4WD and not shift back out for me so I swapped the module and kept the old unit as a backup for the future.
I also have a 99 silverado 4x4. got a bad tank of gas from the recent hurricanes in florida and ruined all 8 injectors. the crap in them were too much to clean so 8 injectors at $100 pretty much shot christmas.
I own a 1999 Silverado LS 1500 extra Cab. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has the same thing I do. At about 70 miles per hour, it sounds like raindrops are hitting my windshield?! Is it a buffeting of the wind against the windshield? Any known remedy?
One more question, What is a good recommendation for a catback exhaust?
I too - ABS problem you all have - I bought my 99 Silverado used with only 31,000 from a Toyota dealer, three months later I'm pulling the ABS fuse. I want to sell it, but do NOT want to spend the $1000 to fix the ABS. Has anyone tried either of the two people that claim to be able to fix it for less? I'm a little ticked that my mechanic charged me $80 diagnostic when this problem has been going on for at least a couple of years. I'd think that the professional auto mechanic journals these guys read have this problem at least addressed. I'm calling to complain no matter what.
My ABS module also failed on my 1999 Silverado at about 50K miles. Did anyone else's battery post come lose from the heat of the ABS unit failing to stop running?
My ABS went out because of a corroded wire at 40,000 miles. Looks like the wire goes right into the AL. block. Any repairs known?? or just replace the unit. Thanks.janecurly@milwpc.com

Wow...
I am a 99' 4x4 Step side Ext cab owner, my beauty has 108k Miles. My front diff. recently seized due to a seal failure while shagging my transfer case with it and my ABS light is on
(I thought due to a past jump start -knackering the ECM module.) But reading the reports-very informing. I totally agree that GMC is responsible for the ABS module failure and does need to recognise these concerns. I have had a great couple of years with her, but as time rolls on she is need'n some work. Not everyone has time to fix their car and at those costs-who can afford it?
If there is a cause...

Same thing here 45,000 miles. My mechanic gave me his discount on the module. Total 780.00...about 630 for the parts and 100 labor. Like to get it back, but GM is not likely to cough it up.
Yep...ABS computer went out on me, too. Good thing I was moving slowly, so the car I rear-ended didn't get damaged. And the $1500 repair bill for the ABS crap was a beauty, too. I also had the 4WD module go... and stick in 4-Lo. I bought the part at the dealer because I couldn't wait for mail order and replaced it myself in 5 minutes. I see someone else needed to replace the window regulator for the driver's side. $250 at the dealer, but $50 on eBay and 25 minutes to swap out. Glad I'm not the only one having these same issues. That brake issue is the worst and SHOULD be a recall. I'll call the number provided in an earlier post to complain.
