ABS eliminated

[Gussie2000]

By habit, I always keep quite a bit of distance between me and the car forward anyways. Think it comes from living in DC with a manual tranny and just not wanting to sit on my brakes all the timer. Easier to just coast and torque brake, using that space to slow stop. I adopted this with my VX naturally. Different in an auto however, so at speed, I stay quite a ways away from folks.... in traffic, I tend to stay in a lower gear and keep some distance. Needless to say, I never go through brakes. I will probably go through a tranny first, heh.

Because of this, I have never had to put it to the test with a hard brake. In any weather. I never was happy with the operation of the VX ABS system. It always seemed a step behind me and fought me no matter what I wanted to do. Can't say I miss it.

The braking distance of the VX is a bit freaky,i also make sure to stay away from the vehicule ahead of me. For a 4000 + pounds truck the brakes aren't the best.

My ABS stoped working couple of months ago.

Question... If you disable the ABS while the controller is "good", would this halt further wear and pause the wear-timeframe, or would it continue to wear and possibly "go out" while electrically disconnected?
