Exploder does this also disc brakes all around. Its been that way since it got new pads and rotors from napa. It stops just fine even in snow and icy slush. Dont worry about it.

My credo
Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
If it was my truck, the first thing I'd check is the rear drums for warp. If that passes the test, THEN I'd start looking at the complicated stuff like ABS modules and all the other stuff mentioned. I personally HAVE stopped a pulseing pedal by turning the drums on my old Chevy S-10. Experience over "knowledge" always works for me.

My brother had an S10 he gave to our Mom. I believe around a 2000. I'm not certain the engine but that was one running lil rascal.
Not sure the difference tween a auto and a stick, but that thing with its' auto would run circles around my little Ranger. I did learn later how to get a lot more out of it, but not certain that would have helped enough

Mine was a '92 I think. Only drove it for a few Months. I4 with a 5 spd manual. I hated it. It was gifted to me because nobody could get it running after It had an electrical fire under the hood at some point in it's life wich created all sorts of problems, even after it was "repaired" with a harness from a JY. I got it runnning, then, Sold it for $800 to a kid in Tallahassee when I first landed here. It was the truck that I had when I moved from Arkansas, back to Florida in 2003.
