Thanks Relchair, was going to bookmark, but it's kinda short & simple, thanks again.
Yeah, it's a 4wd, too. Nice truck, owned by 1 little old lady, her husband bought it for her, hauled it on a trailer to many different jobs all over the country.
The truck SAT more, than it was driven. The Mr said he never seen it driven, just sat....
I really admire Dram94, his knowledge, ability, & his workshop.
My Dad & Uncles always made me do my own car work (with "oversight", of course"}, the harder stuff, pulling gas tank, changing flywheels, etc, I'd let the guys have at it...
Dad would always say, "Have the starter (or alternator) off it, by time I get there"....
I like "old school". Just basics & fundamentals, not crazy about bells & whistles,
or the college course one needs, to work on all the bells & whistles.
Thank Dog for youtube & forums, like this, lol.
"Step 1
Turn the ignition to the "II" position.
Step 2
Check the dash lights. The ABS sensor light should come on for a few seconds, and then go off. If it stays on, then you'll need to check the ABS system with a visual inspection.
Step 3
Turn the steering wheel on the F150 all the way to the right. Look at the brake system on the front driver's side of the vehicle. With the wheels turned all the way to the right, you should be able to easily see the ABS sensor mounted to the wheel bearing assembly. There are two wires coming out of the sensor. The sensor is a small black box secured to the wheel bearing and hub assembly. It monitors the rotation of the rotor and wheel, checking to see if there is ever a stop or break in rotation while the vehicle is moving and the brakes are being applied. If the wires are broken or damaged in any way, your ABS is failing and needs to be serviced by a brake shop. If the wires look fine, repeat this step for each wheel. To check the passenger side wheel, you may need to turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. To check the rear wheels, you'll need to climb under the rear cab.
Turn the ignition off if all of the ABS wires appear to be normal and in-tact at the wheel hub. Wait 30 seconds and turn the ignition back on to the "II" position. If the ABS light remains on, the ABS is malfunctioning. You may have a bad sensor at one of the wheels. You'll need to have this component serviced by a professional brake shop."
Seems to always end with, "take it to be serviced by a professional"....
Guess the husband thought I needed a new project....
It is a nice looking truck, I'll try to get ya'll pics later....
when it's not raining, which should be like, in
September....
