From what I could find online:
Trim-level, package and stand-alone options include a 3.9-liter V6 or 5.3-liter V8 engine, anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with electronic traction control (standard on 2LT, LTZ and SS)
It sounds like ABS may be an option on some trim levels....

I can't believe it doesn't have abs either. What is the last 8 characters of the vin?
Did the master cylinder go dry?
If the brake pedal isn't deep or spongy you probably got all the air out during bleeding.
Wouldn't the tech notice a brake pull on the test drive? Its a big safety issue?

2.No issues with the master cylinder; brake pedal is not spongy
3.I wasn't notified from alignment technician about any issue. I think it is a big safety issue - my test drive demonstrated that at extreme situation, with speed over 40mi/h, the car skids and may go out of control.
Here is the link about bleeding procedure http://111.imagebam.com/download/G2T.../IMG_2125a.jpg
By the way I don't state it is correct - just fallowed the instructions of writers who had never touched an engine.

on slippery roads, this problem will be more dangerous.

I didn't open the link as my computer issued a warning for some reason.
bleeding should start at the master cylinder if it went dry...then farthest to nearest. I really don't know how critical the order is but that is what they used to recommend.
Its more important to bleed it using proper technique so to not pump air into the system.
here's one for you...I once had a helper pumping the pedal...nothing would come through. I thought maybe starting the car to get the booster to work might help. As soon as he pump the pedal I figure out what was wrong...he was pumping the accelerator.

Hmmm, windows xp in chrome made no complaint. It is a jpg image of some service manual that claims what he said.
I wonder what would have happened if your helper was pumping a clutch.
