Default brake question

I have a question about brakes, I have a dodge ram i went to order a hub assembly and they asked me if i had antilock brakes, i do not know how to check for them on a dodge, This is my first dodge product and my first newer vehicle. is there any way to tell if it has anti lock brakes by typing in my vin some where or something or how do i tell just by looking at it. Any help would be greatly app.

You can request a build sheet by going to the 2nd gen section and then to the DIY topic stickied to the top. I did a write up about how to get your build sheet. Also, you can tell by wirering coming from the from break area. If you can take your truck apart (having another car to drive) you can tell by the hub assembly. If it has anti lock, there will be a gear in there. you can try searching the 2nd gen section also, and you will probabably find more info on the topic.

When you first start the truck does an ABS dummy light come on? If so then you have ABS. I think all ABS equipped vehicles do this as a sort of self test. My 93 Grand Cherokee used to activate the ABS at 10 MPH and you'd feel a slight pulse in the pedal. If all else fails drive on a dirt road at about 40 MPH then stand on the brakes. If you feel a high frequency vibration or pulsation in the pedal then you have ABS.
