Default 2 or 4 wheel ABS?

I have a 95 dakota 2wd V6. Whats the best way to determine if I need new rotor/hubs with 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS? I see a spot for an ABS relay, but no relay in the slot... I need new front rotor/hub assemblies.

Thanks.

102 views and no one knows? How are you guys replacing your brakes without knowing if you have 4 or 2 wheel ABS?

If you don't have the realy my guess you only have Rear Wheel ABS which all 92-up had them. Look under the hood and see if you have the 4WABS module.

RWABS


4WABS

Update...I finally went and looked under the hood. I see the rear ABS module but nothing on the inside fenderwell between the washer reservoir and the relay box...so I assume I only have rear ABS? Also, there is a build sheet sticker on the bottom side of the hood that only lists rear... BUT, there are no ABS relays under the hood...I took a relay out and put it in the ABS slots, but there are no connectors in the slots.

Am I safe to assume I have rear ABS only and I can go ahead and order these rotors? Im gonna go with cheaper stuff from rockauto, but should I stick with raybestos, or could I use their cheapest?

Also, I am going to be selling this truck. Blue book says $3k in fair condition...the only issues are pass window rolls up/down slow somedays and drivers door wont unlock from outside. It has a fresh tune up and fluids. Will have new front brakes. Also a color matched fiberglass tonneau cover. Paint peeling on hood and roof. New tires. Rust on bottom of tailgate. Should I start it at $3k or a little lower? 225k miles, non-documented engine/trans rebuild roughly 100k ago (no leaks).

Thanks

Replaced the front rotor/hub assemblies and put new inner/outer bearings also.

When I set the parking brake to do the work, the drivers rear brake is dragging now. Why would it not fully disengage?

Could need e-brake cables, they're hanging up in the casing. My truck needs them.
