MSD - got it going

I ran out of patience waiting for the Taylor plug wires to be delivered
from Truck Performance so I went to the local Auto-Zone and bought some
Bosch ones. I hooked up the MSD and it made the truck run tons better. I
was out "cruising" at high speeds (about 105mph, can't get past that
since I got the 3.9 gears, don't know why). When I was slowing down the
damn e-brake and abs light came on and now it won't come off. I've reset
the computer and everything. The brakes need to be pushed in a shit load
more for me to slow down. This has happened before and I took the truck
to Midas and had a guy look at it. He drove it and couldn't find
anything wrong and then I drove it and it was back to normal. What
gives? Anyone know what's wrong? The pads and rotors do need to be
replaced, but I don't think that's the reason.

About the rev-limiter on the MSD. I put in the 4800 rpm chip to see if
it the rev limiter actually works on it. The truck pulled right on past
it and hit the stock limiter. I wonder if I need to hook something up to
the tach. The reason I spent the extra money is to have that limiter,
otherwise I'd have bought one without. The instructions say nothing, as
usual.

Later,
Chris Hannon
