Default 2003 Durango: How to tell 2-wheel ABS vs. 4-wheel ABS?

I have a quick question I'm hoping somebody can answer for me...

I recently bought my daughter a 2003 Durango. The vehicle is eligible for a discount if it has 4-wheel ABS. Can someone tell me how you can tell whether it has 2-wheel or 4-wheel ABS?

I'm hoping for a "simple" solution - I live in California and my daughter lives in Texas so I won't be able to check myself.... She's going to have to check based on your input....!

Thanks in advance!
Tom

take the VIN number to a dodge dealer and ask for a spec sheet, that will tell you if it has 2 or 4 wheel ABS, could probably look it up for you over the phone too

Or you could just open the hood and see iff all the lines are in the block, or you can check for sensor wires on the control arm, etc etc

OR... You could just claim it has 4wheel ABS. If they catch it, plead ignorance. If they don't... Well you just saved some money! JMHO.

When the insurance runs the information it will state if the vehicle has 4w-abs...

That's why I said plead ignorance of the 4wheel abs, Duranged.

+1 on the hood.

Post a photo of the brake cylinder area in in 10 seconds we can tell you if it is 4 wheel or 2 wheel based on the amount of stainless brake lines coming out of the controller there.
