Stupid question but still had to ask.....
As some of you know i have another post going about brakes and what setup to buy. Anyways someone mentioned that no matter what setup i buy it still won't keep me from slidding or locking up the brakes. We don't have ABS on our trucks. That is when it got me thinking. I don't know much but is there aftermarket kits to equip our truck with ABS? That would help the brakes perform like how i would like. Also give me a little reasurance when someone cuts me off towing my boat that i could stop or slow down fast. Again sorry if it is a stupid question but still had to ask. Thanks Josh
Also i did a search and didn't see anything about ABS Last edited by abadsvt; 09-18-2006 at 01:20 PM. |

Re: Stupid question but still had to ask.....
I know there are aftermarket kits available, but I don't think there is a kit just for our trucks. You would have to modify your truck to use a universal type kit.

Re: Stupid question but still had to ask.....
Do you know where one might look for these kits? Also do you know what might need to be modified? Thanks for the help!!!!

Re: Stupid question but still had to ask.....
Why not just purchase a unit out of a wrecking yard? Most if not all the components could be had and adapted. The only concern is the the ABS brain may be in the black box (ECM) and therefore a hassle to get it to work.

Re: Stupid question but still had to ask.....
a good defensive driver will avoid ALOT more accidents than an average driver with ABS brake systems

Re: Stupid question but still had to ask.....
Here is a kit for calssic Chevy cars, but it looks like something that would work for anything with brakes. $325 or so, no idea what it does. I just googled "classic abs brake kit".
