Replacing rotors/pads is not a difficult task.. but I would not suggest tackling it without knowledge/tools and a buddy that has done it before.
 
If any work needs to be done to the hydrolic system. (like bleeding), it is better to have some knowledge of what you are doing.
 
Keep in mind that brakes are an important safety feature on your Dak. and we dont want anyone to get hurt (or worse).
 
When you pay somone to do it... they also assume liability and provide a warantee too. (You are not just paying for parts and labor)

I have a 1999 Dakota with 60225 miles on odometer, at 60000, the chec engine lite came on. Within 1 week both brake and ABS lites on dash came on. Truck brakes OK, master cylinder is full and there are no leaks. Any ideas? Thank you. Jim

Did you "pull the codes" from the onboard diagnostics? (review forum history (use search button) for procedure)

My guess would be that you have a weak Speed Sensor in the rear differential housing. These are easily replaced from outside the axle housing, one bolt attaches it.

I replaced the speed sensor in the differential. still get a ABS and brake light after driving a few miles. any ideas on next move? ABS and brake light will sometimes come on if the truck is just idling in the driveway. front rotors have been turned down very thin could this be the problem?

Have you checked the brake fluid level in the master cylinder?

Yes. The level is good. The brakes are pretty touchy sometimes, especially when you first start up.

"Touchy" brakes often point to an issue with the vacuum-booster.
 
If a single wheel is locking up (touchy), then check for brake-fluid leaking on to the rotor/drum.
