Impossible Parts

[Bigtman07]

Rant on. lol i have been looking for months to find an AWABS module for my truck. It is impossible to find. I have found 1 in the last 6 months. I can't find this thing anywhere. Salvage yards don't keep them. Don't have any pick and pull yards around. If anyone can find one please let me know. it just kills me with all the Rams around here I can't find this one Freaking module. I'm not going to go to the stealership because the part itself is $400. Screw that.

Does anyone know by chance if there were different brands of the AWABS Modules?? I have a Kelsey Hayes but I have heard talk about another brand but I can't think of the name.

Ok Rant over. Thanks for listening.

ABS Module / Pump 695809 ASSY,ABS,LIFETIME WARRANTY,1U - eBay (item 290508007451 end time Jan-02-11 07:45:07 PST)

Is that what your looking for?

 

[Bigtman07]

Not exactly. I looked at that one earlier. It is a RWABS. I need one for the All Wheel. Apparently that was a very rare option.

 

[adamwilkes14]

Nevermind...apparently thae link I posted is one that is RWAL...(RWAL IS USELESS)

 

[adamwilkes14]

Here, call these guys maybe they can locate one for you....

Ahhhh thanks Adam!! I looked them up. but I can't do anything till spring. Can't be having the truck down during the snow season. If you happen to find anymore sites post a link up. I'll be checking with duane now too.

I'm goin to a pick and pull this weekend to "hopefully" get a set of black sport bumpers for my truck. I'll keep an eye out for that module while I'm there

 

[Bigtman07]

That would be awesome!!! Would you like a pic so you know what your looking for?? Apparently it was very common on 97 and up sport trims.

 

[txbass06]

Yeah post up a pic. And I'll check on one while I'm at work and see what I can get it for. Luckily, no one can say anything about me buying a part under my discount for a 2nd gen lol

 

[Bigtman07]

lol now that would be sweet.

Here is the module that I need:

And the serials on top:

Also it is a Kelsey Hayes.

 

[txbass06]

Well no parts store around here can get one... but I do get a little break through my work. They have 2 different ones and need the v.i.n.. I've got their part numbers if you want them

 

[Bigtman07]

I can get ya the vin thats no prob. how much ya lookin at???

 

[txbass06]

One lists for $450 and I get it for $330 and the other lists for $512 and I get it for $375. It's not much but it might save yoiu a little money if you wind up having to go through a dealer

 

[adamwilkes14]

I might be mistaken, but I believe the salvage yards wont sell them due to liability issues...I think going through Tx is your best bet, without having to take yours out and have it rebuilt...

 

[txbass06]

Now that you mention it, I remember hearing something like that last time I talked to the guy that owns a local salvage yard

 

[adamwilkes14]

Mine went out on my S10 and I just disconnected it so the brake light on the cluster would stop flashing...it was RWAL though, which is garbage and useless IMO...it keeps the real wheels from locking up, while you try to steer your car/truck out of harms way with the front tires locked up to hell and back....

 

[Bigtman07]

Yea rwal is about pointless. I may go the rebuild option its a he'll of a lot cheaper. Dam dealer only parts. Thnks for checkin for me. But that one part is mire than my entire christmass budget lol. Ill just leave it unplugged for now. Ill check again in the spring

 

[adamwilkes14]

Just dont get into a wreck with it unplugged.....

 

[Bigtman07]

Well with it unplugged it goes to manual brakes. So its not as bad as it sounds.

 

[Bigtman07]

I have been on the hunt for a reasonable abs module. I think I finally found one. But it's from a ctd that was an 01. But it looks identical to the system I have. Since the 02 ctd were still a 2nd gen think it will work??
