    I towed the trailer home from work last Thursday. That was the first time since the accident. Talk about a stressful drive!!! I didn't take it over 60mph the entire drive. Got home safe & sound though.

    I'm starting to wonder now though if the ABS was wrongfully blamed and if it might have been caused by the ol' foot on both the brake & gas issue that we all know & love so well. I've been trying to re-train my foot ever since to move all the way onto the brake (lift & press rather than slide & push).

    Tom I removed the rubber pedal cover from my brake pedal and replaced it with an after market pedal which i drilled new mounting holes in to move the pedal over as far as possible. Works pretty well and looks better too!

    The PO installed metal covers on both pedals. Thanks for the advice though, I'll look to see if the cover can be moved over.
