how to tell if you have 2 or 4 wheel anti-lock breaks?

EVERY truck has Rear Wheal Anti Lock brakes. The first way to tell if you have front ABS is to A) search for the ABS sensor on your front wheel and B) see if there's a relay in your PDC for you ABS...OH and C) use the search feature because this question has been asked millions of times. Just remember to use many word variations.
look at the brake lines that go to each front caliper. if there is a loomed wire running along it, the you have 4 wheel ABS. if you only have a brake line there, then it is 2 wheel ABS.
I don't think 4-wheel ABS was an option on 1500 models, only 2500/3500. Rear wheel ABS was standard on all Rams. If you look at your front brake lines coming off the caliper, a 4-wheel ABS model will also have wires coming off them.
As you can see in this pic of my passenger front side, just behind the upper ball joint is a wire that pairs up with the brake line. This wire is from the ABS system.
