What is RWALB?
I don't know if I have all wheel ABS, will need to find out. Wonder if both the EMS and Dynatrac kits account for ABS on all 4 corners, they say the kit is for '01 (among later years as well) so they *should* have taken into account this issue in the kit's design...

Our trucks are 4 wheel ABS, the older trucks only had it in the rear to help control the rear end from passing the front in an emergency stop.

Nope. Not true. My 2000 only has rear ABS. No tone ring or wiring on the either side of the front axle.

The ABS ring for the rear axle is located between the ring gear and the flange the ring gear is bolted to on the carrier. The ABS/TONE ring in the rear is also the speedometer sensor.

People want to know
I see a lot of interest in the kit I did. So I found the pros and cons and I'm looking for the rest of the Posts that I did on this DIY kit.

Since you brought this back up, if anyone has a set of spindles are steering arms from a 92-97 F350 D60 front, I need to either borrow or buy them.
I still think they will bolt right on our 94-99 D60's......

94 to 97 Ford D60 spindles do not bolt directly on. Check out my other post for "DIY Manual hub conversion"
If I had to do it again with what I know NOW would still depend on my budget. If I had the money I would have gone with a leaf spring D60 off of Ford and transplanted the whole thing under my Dodge, leafs and all.
Being short of cash I would have done the same thing I'm currently running.
I've been running this conversion for about 2 years and have had no problems. I'm still running about 24mpg a 4mpg improvement over what I had before the hub conversion.

J OOPS, I think the 2000-2002 Balljoints are reversed compared to the 94-99 Dodge D60's, and that might be why you couldn't do it on yours.
Or, do you know for sure the 92-97 Furd outer Cs ( steering portion ) will not directly bolt up to a 94-99 Dodge?
