RE: How can I tell if I have ABS?
Yes there is a light. Would that mean I have front too or just rear? It used to would lock the brakes up and slide a little but sort of pulsed while doing it. With the new calipers it doesn't want to lock them up as easily but still will a little but sort of pulses when I do it. I know this means I have ABS but just wondering if it would be rear or 4 wheel?

RE: How can I tell if I have ABS?
My ABS sucks. My parents 00 chrysler t&c has abs and you can definitely feel it locking the brakes and disengaging and locking.... while skidding. My truck just seems to skid so i assumed it didn't have ABS. But then one time while turning the truck on i noticed the light. So i purposely skid into my driveway and it seemed to disengage once then just lock up. I'm disappointed in it.

If you have ABS, it is on all four wheels. I have never heard of a vehicle having ABS on only the rear wheels, and Dodge never sold an ABS-equipped vehcile without ABS on all wheels.

Very common on 90's rwd vehicles. Trucks, GM B-body, Ford Crown Vic, etc.

REAR WHEEL ABS Definition: A type of ABS system that only involves the rear wheels. Commonly used on pickup trucks and vans, rear-wheel ABS provides skid control with varying vehicle loads. This type of ABS system uses only a single speed sensor in the transmission or differential for both rear wheels. See RABS and RWAL.
