With light brake pressure there is a lumping pulsing of the brakes like they are on and off also feel this when jacking vehicle and running when jacked up on one wheel rear. Is there a way to disable rear abs system for troubleshooting? Replaced one brake drum it seems slightly better but still pulses?

thanks for any ideas or help - Don

The best way to see which brake is having the problem you should jack up each wheel and spin it with someone holding their foot just a little and the brake pedal. This way you can see which one is warped and replace the rotor.

Here is a guide to help you get he job done:
