Are you one of the lucky folks stuck in the winter from hell? Snow or ice could be hanging on one of the ABS wires (wheel sensors) just enough to tug on the plug. Is this noticed when moving or just sitting still? Happened a few times when plowing.

It seems to do it when dry or wet or snow. Will do it sitting still in park and various speeds. Only 5k miles on the truck. Took it to the dealership but they can't find a code or a stored message.

sounds crazy but make sure your battery cables are tight at the posts.

I would also make sure the ground wires are tight also. The 1500's had a recall for loose ground wire.
