Exactly. I hated the ABS on my '97 Silverado. It actually screwed me a couple of times and locked the brakes up going downhill into a road. Snow is too tricky for it.

I learned how to apply the most force possible without the ABS kicking in.

Thats nothing, wait till the ABS malfunctions and locks the brake pedal in the up postion and the only way to stop the truck is with the parking brake. It happened to me one night coming up to a stop light. I managed to stop with the parking brake about an inch away from running into the 4runner in front of me. I had to limp into a parking lot and pull the ABS fuse. Haven't decided if I'll ever fix it or just go without.
