ABS worth the effort?

[47 Fasttoys]

Well, from what I understand the ABS unit for the Silverado is mounted under the cab, mounted to the drivers side frame rail. It uses 2 flex lines going from the master cylinder. It also uses 4 wheel speed sensors. I know it does use inputs from the ECM but I'm not sure if it has a separate control module or not. I'm leaning towards removing it, but that will require additional line work and I need to figure out how the proportional valve plays with the control module. I may be better off just leaving it in place and just not hooking the electrical connectors up.

I don't want to tell you what to do, it's your ride man.

My $.02 is that if it's already there and you're swapping the chassis, why not leave it? The only plumbing you'll have to do is from the master cylinder to the ABS module.

They actually only have 2 sensors on the front wheels and get the signal for the rear from the transmission.

So, here's an article on an ABS swap ito a 1st gen Camaro.

Here's another link on ABS, not the one I wanted to send. My PDF won't go through. It' for a 97, believe it or not the ABS really hasn't changed since then. The control module just got smaller and faster.
