2001 chevy silverado- brake issues

What is your question?

When coming to slow speed brake pedal feels like anti-lock kicking in, Have to push pedal harder to "hopefully" stops. Not sure of issue. Maybe master cylinder? Some sort of sensor? Brake oil full and no "brake light" on. Suggestions?

What makes this problem better or worse?

tried revving engine in neutral and then brake but still same results

How long has your 1999 Chevrolet C1500 had this problem?

few weeks

These have a common issue with bad front wheels speed sensors. You end up replacing the entire front hub since the sensor is built in. Very cheap and easy to do your self but if you need a shop then use this link to find a good one near you.https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex

“No brake light on” - IF ABS is activated - light should be on at the time - “Have to push pedal harder” Have *vacuum brake booster* operation evaluated by qualified personnel.. Test drive by knowledgeable mechanic should be adequate to determine where / what the failure is.
