    HELP I need a ABS tone ring?

    Any body have one for sale? Tring to finish the brakes and on the last wheel pasenger side front the ring is cracked. This brake job has been a nightmare all the bolts have been rusted on had to heat them off, IL uses to much salt in the winter. Any way does anyone have a spare layng around? VX has been apart for over a week now and I want it back!

    NEED FRONT LEFT ABS ROTOR OR ABS SPEED RING OR WHATEVER IT IS

    THANKS STEVE

    A lot of Troopers & Rodeos used the same rotors/calipers etc.

    I wish I could tell you exactly what year, but I think 99 to 01 or 2 would be a pretty safe bet.

    Check the salvage yards close to you...

    I think I've got one, let me check.

    Isuzu parts stocks them, like 40 bucks each or so or you write it off as a loss and get rid of the garbage ABS anyway. Pull the ABS fuse,take the plunge

    So is the ABS from factory really crappy or just not worth repairing after a certain cost? My light is on and I'm wanting to figure out why, but if it's a crappy system anyhow then maybe I should just unplug the bulb...

    Depends who you ask. I know there are some who have pulled the fuse and removed the bulb, some that swear by it being the best thing ever. I am lifted on 34" mud tires, so I drive slow anyway, and ABS is horrible on the trail, I want it to pile up mud and dirt in front of the tires. I am sure there are others that will throw in their 2 cents on the advantages of it, but IMHO, its not worth spending the money to repair/maintain.

    imho the abs system in our VXs works well.. i have had a couple of stops where i was 2 tires on gravel two on dry pavement and stopped perfectly straight. that being said i do stop much faster in an emergency without abs. i had no problem driving for 12-18months without it, but i got it working again for about $125 (new used ABS module)
