there is a sensor on top of my rearend. what is it? im lookin into doin a sas this summer and i wanna go with a set of dodge 1500 axles. does a 1500 have this same set up so i could just plug in to the new rearend? thanks guys

 

sooo no one has a clue?

 

It's a speed sensor and I'm not sure if a 1500's axle has the same connection. I'm guessing if they're close in year they may, but honestly I don't know. I don't know a lot about 1500 Rams since I don't have one...

 

well i really dont wanna just put a 1500 front axle and not a rear one lol maybe some one els will chime in and give some good info

 

Just taking a stab. ABS. They do it there I assume, instead of on the wheel, might as well do it with the ring gear.

 

nah my truck dont have abs. i remember readin up here one time that the sensor works in correlation with the iac motor or somthin like that.

 

well my 01 1500 had it and gave me nothing but problems

 

I know for a fact that the sensor is a speed sensor and ABS sensor(but just speed sensor if you don't have ABS). A lot of dakotas have just rear ABS like mine. So it's a speed/ABS sensor.

 

i would ask in the ram section, they should know. Also i just bought a new sensor for mine, does anyone know of an easy way to get the old one out?

 

i posted on there site and there helpn pretty good. but one guy seams to think the dak rear and ram rears are the same width..?
