    Hi guys,
    I recently have changed all 4 drive brake d&s and soon after that my truck start loosing power RPM goose down and ABS light comes up just for one sec and goes back to normal each time I hit pat-hole or uneven surface!
    Does anyone have clue what that can be?

    Sounds like an ABS problem to me. Perhaps applying the brake randomly when you hit a uneven surface. Did you get your ABS sensor put back in properly ?
    I had one on my trailer doing that. The sensor had fallen from the mount and was banging around inside the drum.

    Well I am no expert. It happened to me and I think that was why. Mechanic fixed the problem and I did not ask what it was. But seems like if the sensor is not mounted in , it would bounce around and make the ABS think you are slipping and apply brakes. That would slow you.
    Just a guess. Take a look at the sensor. It is just poked into a hole or mount right on inside of the wheel. I have had them push all way inside the drum and also fall outside from objects hitting the wire.
