pics of 02'/2500 front speed sensor
Hi,
I had to replace my 2 front speed sensors on my truck. symptom: almost to a stop and the peddle goes to the floor. 1 pic is the sensor installed. 1 pic is of the hole where the sensor is removed from. NOTE the teeth in the bottom of the hole. I was told this should be perfectly clean. I used Qtips to remove all grease from every peak/valley in the teeth in this area. The bearings have their own grease. All is working fine with my brakes now. Roughly $110 for the 2 front sensors. The rear was around $40 -- it is installed in the top of the differential. The rear is simple to remove/replace. The fronts, you need to pull the rotors/calipers/caliper frame. I left my brakes installed in the caliper and simply removed the entire caliper with the 2 star headed bolts. When I first had to remove them, it was a sum bitch to remove. I put on copper anti-sieze on the threads and they come out much easier now. 1st time a 3/4" braker bar and chisel hitting bolt head. After the anti-sieze, I use a 3/8" ratchet.
