I do have a computer box on the drivers side fender behind the fuse box. I got under it and didn't see anything that looked like a ABS sensor on the front though.

The abs sensors for the front go down to the wheel bearing hub, but if they were bad the abs and brake light would be solid, not flashing.
But in any case you can check the resistance of the front sensors...should be between 900-1000ish, (depending on the posistion of the tone ring and sensor.
the plugs are connected on top of the wheel wells.

Again I doubt this is the issue
I would think the tuner is confused and thinks you have a different ABS system, or something like the pressure differential valve is malfunctioning...(I can't remember the name of it)
I would first try to find what errors show a blinking ABS light to narrow it down.
or as a last resort unplug the battery for a while and see if it clears

Thanks, I will check the front again. I have tried pulling the battery cable, that didn't work. So, I am gonna have it scanned for codes.

Mopar is very strict on the codes for the ABS system so the only place that will be able to read them is the dealership. If you have a dealership that is good to you have them reflash and try it again. =)

Talked to Superchips again today. The engineer says that it is my ABS sensor. I told them that I just replaced the sensor. They say that the new one is probably bad also.

No returns on electrical parts ....LOL

I don't know, but I thought the rear sensor would turn the ABS solid with the addition of the brake light.
I know for a fact the front does........Cause I just replaced my front pass side.

Anyone here who replaced the rear have it blink?

I uninstalled the tuner. I am selling it tonite. And I am having the truck scanned tomorrow.
