No, thats the proportioning valve with a pressure sensor on it. Different years vary, I've seen em in the back on the back side of the fuel tank on the frame rail, along the frame rail in the area of your trans crossmember, and newer models are up on the firewall. I'll be bypassing mine when the new axles go in. Wait, they're going in nowI better get to bypassing !!

so is this what you guys are bypassing?

Its not dumb, if it doesnt work. I would like to have rear brakes for once.
No thats not it. I dont have whatever that is. The unit I am bypassing only has 2 brake lines. One from rear axle, the other from the master cylinder. Its has a 4 wire plug in the middle.
and if you know how to drive, and can keep your brakes from locking up... you can stop a lot faster than with abs locking and unlocking your brakes. its awesome for pulling trailers- non-abs helps a lot.. i wouldn't consider putting it back on my truck at all. my b2 and ex have been abs-less for about 5-6 years now..
Mine is tucked up in the frame rail right under the drivers side door.
On a van we had, rear brake line went out and lost the rear brakes but the valve made it so that we could keep our front brakes till we got home. Well when my dad and I tried to bleed the rear brake, couldnt get fluid to come out the lines. The solution that I did was put a vacuum on the bleeder screw (aka suck on it with a long clear tube) when it was open and for some reason allowed fluid to go through the valve and only then were wer allowed to bleed the rear brakes. And yes this van did have ABS.
