Default Anybody w/ DII over 75k never got Tres Amigos?

This question may have been asked, but it occurs to me that anybody and everybody is destined to have Tres Amigos lights to come on sooner or later due to variety of malfunctions with the ABS and Traction Control systems. Or I am wrong? Any body that never had them come on, raise your hand.

I am currently at 94k and, knocking on wood, have not had them dare I say yet. But from what I have read it seems as if brake dust and bad hubs are the leading causes - go figure. I try to keep the dust and grime off my wheels and suspension.

I haven't had them yet at 120K, but don't know about the PO. Bought at 102K.
Have replaced all rotors with drilled and slotted and new pads. Removed the dust shields.

I just experienced them last weekend. I was hauling a 23' Trophy (5,000lbs w trailer) about 100 yards onto a boat ramp. My buddy's truck had a camper pitched at our campsite so it was easier to use my truck instead of breaking down the camper. As I was backing down at a 40 degree angle they lit up like a xmas tree...not to mention the loud squeal coming from my brakes. Scared the hell out of me as the front tires began to skid for about 3".

Never had them since I owned the truck. I bought it at 89,000 now three years later and with 109,000 on the clock.

A few times a month here. It's the shuttle valve electrical failure so i am looking into tearing apart my modulator and checking the internal electrical connections.

I will be making a write-up similar to this one.
