Does anyone know where I could scan any codes that my ABS is storing? I have had the light come on so I know its is storing some code. Autozone doesn't have one.

Autozone doesn't have an ODBII scanner? lol. There's something wrong with that...
Any dealer should be able to scan it for you. As far as I know they shouldn't charge for something like that...

A regular OBD II engine code scanner is not going to help you with your ABS codes. Actron makes a scanner that is made specifically for the ABS codes.

yeah your going to need one that is compatible to receive codes from the abs. still should hook up throught the obd though.

suggestions: advance auto, oreillys, campells, small shops, stealerships (last resort)

You have to have a full feature scan tool capable of communicating with the other serial devices on the serial network in the truck. These devices include the ABS controller, SRS (airbag system), the TCCM (if 4wd/awd), the BCM, etc.
