Default 2 New wheel bearings, still ABS problems

I had the problem before i changed my wheel bearings, my ABS will work a few times, then the light comes on and it stays on until i turn the truck off and restart it. I heard things about the sensors in the wheel bearing itself, but why would mine keep tripping if i have BRAND NEW bearings???? PLEASE HELP

There is an issue with the ABS sensors and wheel speed sensors in the trucks which causes the problem. I have the same one in my truck. Let me guess, it's a 01? lol.
Did your hub assemby come all together with the new sensors? I think you can get them without them so are they actually new sensors?
You might want to investigate the ABS control module too. They have a habit of going. Also, just a tip, post your vehicle information either in your sig or your post when you post. It makes it hard for peopel to troubleshoot when they don't know what they're dealing with. I just assume you have an 01 because of your user name.

New bearings doesn't automatically mean that the airgap is proper. It should be, but it all depends on the quality.. Check the mV-AC output according to the thread below and let us know the results:
Brakes - Low Speed (below 5 MPH) ABS Activation
