I'm glad that you didn't get hurt and or roll your truck. You should thank your lucky stars because that easily could have been a lot worse. Just keep that in mind, once you lock up the front tires you better start pumping or you lose control.
I totally agree with the whole rear only ABS thing, that's just stupid I thought the whole point of ABS was so you can steer and maintain control of your vehicle during emergency breaking. I didn't know the Dakotas had rear only ABS I thought mine was broken lol, I might go unhook mine too. Do you just pull the fuse out for it ?

Or, Dodge could have spent the extra $150 or so to make 4 wheel ABS standard. It may be a crutch for the driver, but who is going to argue that you can't really react fast enough to start pumping?

I was thinking, you could unhook the ABS light from the dash but if you ever had to resell or go in a accident, bad things could happen. Other option is kinda getto but works, black electricians tape over the light on the dash cover.

You get used to the light being there I hated the fact that my check engine light was on but 13,000 miles and I dont even notice it anymore lol I get pissed at my gas light more than any other light haha

Yeah I suppose that it could be a crutch but the whole reasoning behind ABS is for the fact that you can't always react fast enough to start pumping the breaks, and a computer can
I'm just glad every thing turn out alright.
