    Brakes
    My 2003 chevy express van 2500 series does not stop properly. When I step on the brakes and it comes to a complete stop, it pulsates. Im thinking ABS sensor or something to that affect. Any suggestions?

    I've seen that happen when there is too much air in the brake system. Have the brake system completely bled, using an ABS product (e.g. Valvoline Brake Fluid). While you are at it, have the rear brakes and emergency brake adjusted. Check front pads and rear shoes for excessive wear--replace, if necessary, and lubricate caliper pins with silicone grease. Clean ABS sensors with a rag and brake cleaner.
