Hopefully someone can tell me why I have an ABS hydraulic unit on my 2000 Ranger XLT 3.0 flex (2WD)
*See attached - right side above the battery
Long story short...
I started chasing an occasional lockup at the right rear wheel and soon discovered I have what is referred to as an ABS Hydraulic Unit. Rockauto, as well as some others have these listed for years up to 1998 but nothing for a 2000.
Can someone help me understand why my 2000 Ranger has one of these?
Is it common for a 2000 to have one and could it just be an error that they aren’t listed for this
Or do I has some kind of oddball, leftover parts truck that rolled off the line that year?
Btw.....
I do believe the locking issue may be caused by an out of adjustment problem. I’ll know in a couple of days of driving it.
It appears the adjuster cable is a bit too long because the metal tang that is supposed to contact the spanned wheel teeth is hanging below it and isn’t adjusting the brakes as needed.
A few twists in the cable seems to have shortened it up where it needs to be for now. I’ll replace the hardware next time I do the shoes. Probably sometime soon.
Current profile.
Front pads - at half life. Rotors - good, no grooves or warping
Rear shoes - past half life (new springs & hardware when the shoes were installed
Drums - good, no grooves and still round
Master cylinder - 1 yr. old.
Fluid - still clean 1 yr old, complete flush & bleed
I value all options on this one
Thank you
