Had same problem with my '98 Dodge and my '97 Chev, - 'auto' adjusters on drum brakes - DON'T auto adjust after the first couple of years. Rear brakes become near useless with out an occasional adjustment. Not just a brand of truck problem, my neighbor has a couple older Fords - same thing. I've had another rear brake problem, first thing I noticed was a pull to the right during hard braking. I was getting a tiny bit of oil on the L/R brake shoes. Not enough to show up on the outside, but enough to reduce the braking considerably. Have had this happen before but the leak was bad enough to see when I looked under the rear of the truck. Not going to say it isn't the anti locks, but I would inspect / adjust the rear brakes first. I have anti lock problems on my '97 Chev. 2500, it is dangerous the way it is. I no longer use it on the road, it's just a ranch 'beater' these days, but I've got to find a cure without spending a fortune. The 'ol' wreck' isn't worth much but it's nice to have around.
