The housing right after the master cylinder is the HCU or hydraulic control unit (which is the box with the brake lines going to it...) and the ABS control module mounts on top of the HCU

I am also in need of the above valve or just the control unit . I have a used one from a 00 wrecked Durango in there now but I think it is sending too much bias to the rear wheels since they will lock up before theABS kicks in now. but the speedo works now.

Just as a side note....they are expensive. We had a Caravan come in the dealership and the owner had accidentally put power steering fluid in the brake fluid reservoir and it had to have every rubber component including the HCU/ABS controller. About a $2500 mistake

I have an 02 QC Dakota that does the same....rears seem too touchy...

Rears seem tograb waymore than the front......but no lights on.

anybody else have this??
Do all of the parts need replaced to get a better balanced braking system??

thanks.
