Abs systems do not lock on the brakes
they release the brakes when the wheels stop spinning and when the wheels start turning again apply the same brake pressure as before the wheels stopped spinning
check the proportioning valve to the rear brakes to ensure that it is not acting as a one way valve and that is causing the problems
if the compensating port in the master cylinder for the rear wheels is blocked that also will lock the rear brakes

Check the brake light switch at the pedal. However an overheated/melted
bulb base means arcing to me. So, BOTH sockets are probably slightly
corroded & rusted. You fix that by scraping the terminals inside
the socket with a pocket knife or screwdriver. Clean with alcohol or
contact cleaner. If the new bulb isn't tight, and can be moved back and
forth by hand, bend the contacts inward slightly, but don't snap them,
they are spring steel. I was wondering when somebody would ask this
question. I fix them at least to once a month - not the same car, but
all GM's, and when fixed, they're good. Use logic if centre
safety/brake light works.
The remote start sounds normal. There are many different types and they are quirky.
You should scan for codes with an OBD II scanner. If the problem was in
the brake light connections or is fixed at the pedal, erase codes. It
could be, by coincidence, and in no relation whatsoever to this
problem, that a front wheel bearing sensor has gone - they do that, and
require a new hub assembly.

Its possible that right wheel speed sensor is dropping out early making the truck think that wheel is locking up. That will activate the ABS and let the brake go on the right wheel which will make the vehicle pull slightly left. The only way to know for sure is to watch the wheel speeds on a scanner and see which one is drpping out first and replacing that speed sensor/bearing assembly.
good Luck

The traction control works off of the abs.So when abs has problem traction is disabled. If problem started when brakes changed most likely one of these sensors. Check rear wiring and see if you can see any physical damage.

When there is such a feeling, it is the brakes that needs total replacement.
Also you might have to check the master brakes for any leaks. And you need to check the bushing rubbers on the steering rack too.
Be careful and fix this on time.

Check the speed sensors at each wheel. http://www.ehow.com/how_4521137_replace-abs-wheel-sensor-chevy.html

Sounds like your proportioning valve may be going out
Have you scanned for codes on the ABS?
