You probably need brakes... (I know the obvious) but if they're dragging means front calipers are extended and sensors are triggering dash lights. I highly suspect you need front brakes.
Testimonial: "thanks so much for all your help. Julie"
Hi, Julie--I think I found the problem. There was a recall on your ABS system. You can read about it here: http://www.edmunds.com/car-maintenance/recalls.html?year=2000&make=&model=&styleId=7845&engCode=6VNAG4.3&transCode=AUTOMATIC&mileage=110000&zip=45390&type=recall
Do you know if the recall work was done on your truck?
Even if it was, I would ask your dealer to look up your VIN and check out the truck to make sure the recall work was done properly.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Jeff
