My girl friend had hit the brakes one day while we were on our way to six flags and the anti lock brakes kicked in. I want to know if there is a way to unlock them without having to go to a mechanic and paying extreme money to do it.
I want to know how i can do it myslef, is there a way to do that?

On my 01, Quad, with the larger 11in rear drums, that if the you haven't adjusted the rears in a while, the front's do too much work, and kick in the anti lock feature, and really impede stopping.
A Rear anti locks, ae basically for morons, and soccer moms, who think all you do id push the pedal, no skill involved.
Back up to about 25mph, several times in a safe spot, and slam on the brakes, until the fronts lock, and it adjusts the rears.
Try it, you'll see, do it every week or two.

Why would a properly functioning anti-lock system be a problem? I mean, I can see if you didn't want them, but if someone else is driving, and they aren't as skilled, or as familiar with the truck, those rear anti-locks can save your ass, especially when hauling around a wet or iced corner and the truck tries to swap ends. It doesn't take a moron to have this happen. Speaking of morons, anti-locks actually extend brake life, and the brakes automatically adjust in the rear by simply applying the brakes with a few routine driveway back-ups..nothing as drastic as slamming on the brakes. In fact, several brief applications do more than a slam. They only adjust when they're moving back and forth. Slamming them moves them once per slam. If you want to disable them, just pop the fuse.

Saw another post where you state the brakes are actually LOCKED and the truck won't move. Hmmmm. I think I'd still pull the fuse, then bleed the brakes off to release any potential fluid pressure. If the anti-lock system has somehow jammed and will not release the pressure, this is the way I'd go. Then I'd look at the brake master cylinder for possible damage/malfunction. Sounds like a valve is jammed.
