Maybe somebody can lead me in the right direction on what to look for or what is wrong with my truck. Its a 1991 chevy 1/2 ton 2wd. When I am stopped at a stoplight, the pedal pulses some.

I am assume this is caused by something on the ABS. This year truck has rear ABS only. The brakes work fine and the truck stops good and I ony notice the pulse when stopped. The brakes are in good condition, no leaks from any lines or wheel cylinder. The fluid is full and everywhere I inspect, I am not seeing any problems. I have seen the brake light come on in the dash but it only stays on a few seconds and then goes out and I might not see it again for several minutes.

Thanks for any ideas.
 
Try cleaning the sensor rings and sensors [magnets] at each wheel. Rust and dirt impeded how they work.
Even if it does not fix the problem, it HAS to be right to go on.
 
Could be drive line vibrations. Make sure nothing is running on master cylinder or anything. After I put my intake on my Saturn it did that because it was rubbing on the master cylinder. Check for wheel cylinder leaks as well.
