my method is the easiest for her to do if she doesnt know anything about cars/trucks, the answer is just a phone call away

 

The insurance company ran the VIN and swears it a 2-wheel ABS set-up, so no discount. I was hoping something tangible, e.g. checking the # of lines coming from the master cylinder, might be a way to confirm or deny their claim (they actually told me if I had photo proof of 4-wheel ABS they'd accept that). I was also hoping that whatever method was suggested that it would be easy enough for my daughter to do.... Perhaps I'll ask her to photo the master cylinder and post that? Regardless, I want to be sure before applealing to the insurance company, you know what I mean?

 

yup, that makes perfect sense glad we could help

 

Get a build sheet as Sharps stated.

 

+2 or 3 or 4 on the build spec sheet from dealer. There should be a 3 letter option code on the sheet. It was my understanding that the 4 wheel ABS didnt start until 04 model year but thats one of the concepts of this forum, to share info.

Since IndyD runs an insurance agency, he should be able to figure it out or at least get you started in the right direction.

I am about 1200 miles away from the vehicle right now but when I get back I will check my build sheet and let you know the code. I have 2 wheel abs so you can use process of elimination. Another place might be one of the labels under the hood, or the door post.

 

My 2000 D has 4 wheel ABS

Contrary to popular belief, the insurance company doesn't dissect the VIN to establish the build of a particular vehicle. Some things come up via vin, however only if the sub-model indicated by the VIN has the OPTION for ABS (2 or 4) is flagged. We take the customer at their word. If the sub-model is ABS applicable, we simply ask which it is.

2 wheel ABS should still have a discount. Time to tell... WHO IS THE INSURANCE COMPANY?

IndyDurango

 

yea my 02 also has the 4 wheel abs (i honestly wish it didnt, does that make me odd???, i can stop better w/o it in my old dak than i can in the D with it :/)

 

No, shrp, it doesn't make you odd. You were already odd!

 

thanks, dan, and im sorry im such an "odd" person, i like to be in complete control of my vehicle, and w/ the 4 wheel abs i cant stand the truck on its nose like i could with my old dak, that thing stopped on a dime, and it had rw only abs

 

Insurance company is Farmers. Like I said, if 2-wheel ABS, no discount. Hope to contact my daughter this weekend to get the picture....
