Own one of these vehicles, or three, and sooner or later almost every problem mentioned in this forum will come to visit. My latest issue is a hint of the three amigos. These are on my 2000 DII with 133,000 miles. Three times this week, when I started the truck, the three amigos stayed on. When the came on, I turned off the truck and restarted and the three amigos went away. Everything seems to be operating properly. Brakes are working well and have more than minimal thickness. I do have a slight squeak in the brakes (that could be the issue). The lights have not stayed on more than a few seconds each time that they have appeared. They have not come on each time that I have started the truck. Like I said over the past week, they have appeared three times, and then only on start up. If I turn the truck off and start it up again, they go off. They have never come on while I was driving. Any ideas? Should I jsut go ahead and change out the brakes and see if that fixes the issue? Anybody in San Diego with a Hawkeye or ABS Reader willing to hook it up and check to see if there are any stored codes? Thanks for looking. Phil

i woudl wait until they are on lng enough till you can get a reading. no point on guessing whats wrong. how long have you had your current brakes on? are they due anyways?

 

I bought this DII in May of last year. I have put about 5000 miles on it since I bought it. I have not done the brakes. They appear to have a fair amount of pad left. Changing the pads isn't a big deal, but I don't want to change them out unnecessarily. Any potential problems with pulling the wheels and cleaning and checking the sensors? Phil
