    a lot, I forgot
    Was hunting this morning, I ran over a decent sized branch and caused it to fling up and get lodged into something under the truck. Near the drivers front or drivers middle of the truck. Immediately noticed my ABS and E-Brake light are solidly lit. ABS is obviously not working now, but parking break worked perfectly fine. Anyone know what could have happened?

    The stick could possibly have taken out a wheel speed sensor. Scan the truck for codes.

    Get under there and look at wires leading to the speed sensor (part of hub assembly) as suggested above. The L and R have the same set up.... so look at both sides to identify the differences.... that will lead you to the problem. Parking brake is a simply mechanical setup.... press pedal, cable gets tight, actuates rear drum brakes... If the parking brake works you are correct to focus on front. Post pics of under the truck if you are not sure what you are look at.

    More importantly, I'm assuming bow season for deer....post pics when the truck is riding low due to the protein in the bed.

    100% wheel speed sensor wiring damage. same exact thing happened to me.

    follow the wheel speed sensor wires up to where they connect to the truck harness and disconnect there, then check for proper resistance on the sensor side and voltage on the truck harness side...

    Mine ended up being a wire that got pulled out of a pin on the truck side. Interestingly, the pin was a double crimp style (one on the wire and one on the insulation) but somehow, the insulation crimp was not done from the factory. I was able to uncrimp the wire crimp and crimp the pin back on (proper double crimp). Zero dollar fix for what would have probably been several thousands if I took it to the dealer...
