Brake RABS Valve

[larrybjr]

Anyone have any idea where I can get one of these. Went to bleed brakes and couldnt get any fluid to the rear. Have fluid at the valve and none out of the valve. Napa has one buts 169.00 seems high, any help would be awesome. Thanks

There's a thread in the brakes section about fixing the rabs valve, you might want to try that.

If i read this right I can bypass this fairly simple and not affect the braking of the truck?? I thought this valve functioned differently.

 

[88BII got it for $250]

We had the same issue with our 91. we pulled a used one from a wrecking yard for 30bucks. rear abs is nice in the winter, or without a load in the back. I would not bypass the rabs valve. best of luck to ya.

FOUND ONE!!! Went to my local junk yard and got one off a 99 Ranger for $10.00 yep $10.00. I even took it off myself. For like the longest time in this area we werent allowed to take off our own parts because of liabilities. Did see a really nice Bronco II while I was there that I was told not too even look at. Oh well next is bleeding and hopefully done this week.

our ex's rear abs has been bypassed for about 3 years and we love it like that. of course here in MS we don't get a lot of icy winters.. lol. but it'll stop so much quicker.
