So I have seen the orange ABS light on my dash during startup... yet when we were hit with some good snow the other night and I would hit the brakes, not matter hard or soft, the abs would NOT kick in. Wtf gives?


Matt

 

Id be happy if mine never kicked in!

 

Really?? I hate not having abs. It sucks *** in the snow, it turns out. I hate not being able to turn unless I let off the brake and ease back in, and I hate not having the control I'm used to.

Turns out these generation of strokers use a Rabs valve... if it senses the rear tires locking, it releases pressure and puts all the pressure to the front tires...



But I heard you blew the HG up in your new 12v jake

 

Yep nothing serious, didnt get into the oil. oring porting and some other goodies are soon to come.

 

I hate ABS it's for people who don't know how to drive

 

Ouch. Sorry to hear brother. I'll gladly take that common rail off your hands if your needing some money

I'm a fan of technology, and beg to differ. The human can not control tire speed nearly as fast as an advanced computer can. Especially not in emergency panic situations.

 

What truck are you talking about? You have about 12 trucks in your sig...

 

i'm referring to my obs

 

The 97 should have ABS, but its only Rear IIRC...

 

I've heard it's not truly abs, but that it uses a Rabs valve? Where when the system detects the rear tires locking up, it drops all line pressure to the rears and puts it towards the fronts?
