Well, I am feeling a pulsing at times under braking, but usually on
clear, paved roads or at low speeds where I KNOW the ABS isn't kicking
in. Hoping to get a second (or third) opinion this weekend, I'm fearing
the worst.

I'll assume that my ABS really is there now. I ask because my parents'
'93 Chevy conversion van shook like a mofo when the 4-wheel ABS kicked
in. Guess the systems have advanced sufficiently (the rear-only
probably helps too).
