Non Functioning ABS, Keep or Scrap	Sign In

I have a'90 Sierra C1500 2WD that have a non functional ABS. The rotors and nuckles have been replaced with non ABS parts but the control box is still connected to the brake hydraulics. The electrical is disconnected also.

Should I leave it, remove it or fix it?
Sincerely xJohn

Most of the parts you would need are hard to find or obsolete at this point. Leave it be if it isn't causing you an issue with the braking. It would cost more to fix than the truck is worth.

Johnx - should be rear ABS only on a truck. Near useless if it worked IMO just to keep REARS (Drum on that) from locking up like with no load it's light back there.

TMK there never was front ABS for this available so not sure what parts you think are wrong??

Four wheel anti-lock was available on this truck with RPO code JE5

Gotta believe you just never saw it quite that old.

Trivia - owned a 1968 Olds, 98 with ABS - no electrical anything and no clue how it worked but it did and dang you plain could not lock up wheels on that thing. 4 piston disc brakes made for a Vette I was told?? Original car no games they had it apparently but rare as chicken's teeth,
