what is it behind the glove box.

In tearing apart this 93 D250 I found a small black box bolted to the inside of the firewall behind the glove box. I know the computer is what was bolted to the left front fender behind the battery, so what is this black box inside? a BCM? thanx , crossy

Rear Wheel Anti Lock AKA RWAL

BTW when you part out trucks do you remove all of the harness intact or do you just chop it out?

Just wondering.

BTW- Fellas- what years did Dodge start using RWAL on these trucks. ?

@Jim, thanx, got it! In this truck everything except a few MINOR wires was all in good shape and still pliable so it was surgically removed and most ends marked where they go. before i got into old dodges a few years ago i did this kind of stuff to square body(73-87) GM trucks. It's just a hobby so i can take my time. The aftermarket repops so much for the gm trucks i rarely sell anymore--- but these year dodges is a whole different bowl of corn flakes. The cummins makes nearly everything in them unique. AND, i understand that. I do have very limited room here, but i do what i can to preserve. Crossy
