Default 06 hemi - abs disabled
Hello everybody!
I own a used dodge ram big horn 5,7 hemi. My truck hasn't abs. I don't know why, is it possible the first owner has disabled it ? how to restore it?
No abs light is on.

Thank you, regards.

I you do not have a ABS light on, and it does lite when you turn the key on, that indicates it is working. Chances are you only have back ABS and not 4 wheel ABS, fairly standard with Rams.

I don't feel on my feet the usual vibration on the brake pedal...that was why I think I do not have ABs...I was on ice and my truck was slipping straight when I pressed the brake pedal. It wear m+s tires.

Yeah, if you dont have the traction control package, you dont have 4wheel abs...the rear wheel abs is pretty much close to useless in my opinion.

Rear abs only unless it is a Laramie, they have 4 wheel abs. Something finally fixed in 09, now all have 4wheel abs.

I have felt the rear abs on my 08 when braking on ice. I had to hit them hard.

Like the others said you only have rear ABS because it was standard...4 wheel ABS was an option.

Keeping the rear from coming around on you is useless? Hmmm..
