ABS/VSC Working Correctly?

We spent the New Year holiday in South Lake Tahoe...lots of snow and ice. We got over 30 inches in just 4 days. Had our 03 4x4 Sport and my in-law's 03 4x4 LTD. They drove fantastically. Even my Dunlops were OK. We actually were plowing through 6 or more inches of fresh on dirt roads and all was well. Plowed roads with a layer of ice on them seemed just like dry tar...even on steep hills.

Now the issue...my ABS when activated makes a nasty noise. Not just a clicking and pulsing, but a noise like an evil electric sparking along with the pulsing/clicking. The LTD just pulses/clicks and beeps when the VSC is activated and just pulses/clicks with the ABS.

Would like your opinions before I take it in to the dealer...if the dealer is necessary.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't worry as mine makes those ugly sounds too... sound like the electrical system is going bad or something.... along with everything else buzzing like hell
