My experience with them hasn't been good and bad. I think they've gotten alot better since the 90's but the abs that the Chevy trucks came equipped with in the mid to late 90's (Kelsey Hayes 310 I believe) is a dangerous device. Engage it once and you'll know what I mean. It certainly doesn't let the wheels lock up, but it also doesn't let the vehicle stop. When winter driving, you try NOT to get it to engage or you'll triple your stopping distance. Makes you nearly crap your pants sometimes, coming up to a stop sign and and the truck loses all brakes for 3 seconds, and if you keep your foot on the pedal it'll reapply the brakes, and then takes them away for 3 seconds again. If the Chevy S10 has brakes anything like GMC/Chevy 1/2 ton trucks, you don't have to worry about locking the wheels up anyways, ain't going to happen. If the wheel speed sensors are bad(front) the abs will engage on anything when atempting to stop, giving you zero brakes. The three channel system they claim it to be doesn't matter, you're not going to get brakes unless you stand on it. The system is also nearly impossible to bleed so if you ever replace your brake lines, be aware of that. On the other hand a 1998 Toyota Camry that has a Bosch system is much more responsive and doesn't give you the feeling of immiment death when it engages. It certainly does increase stopping distance, but not near as much as the Chevy.
