i just replaced the front hub on my old truck before i crashed it.

the new truck now needs hubs.

old one was not abs and new one is abs....can i just swap the hubs and leave the abs unplugged for now? its 250 each for a hub and i already am in debt.

if i can do that, do i unplug all the sensors or just the front?

or should i try to make the hub hold the sensor liek the other one does?

You can just leve the ABS unplugged and you will get an ABS light on the dash and your ABS won't work, but still will be driveable.

i'd say yes. just leave the front LT/RT sensors unplugged. i'm not 100 percent sure though.

Find the ABS module and swap them out. That way, once you have the funds for the ABS hubs, you just plug the 4 wheel ABS module in and you won't have any issues with the ABS light staying on.

I tried this, because I got tired of looking at my ABS lights. Due to the front sensors being bad. The truck shifted funny and the odometer would not work.

make sure you cap or bag he plugs for the ABS that aren't being used so when you do put ABS hubs in the connections wont be corroded.

No fuse problem. Just when the abs module is unplugged the odometer does not work.

Nope thats why I still have an ABS light. When unplugged it does NOT shift right and odometer doesnt work.


Seriously????

Not trying to be an ass but why the heck would I drive a truck not shifting. I do not care about resale. The truck just doesnt work when its unplugged so.... Yeah

Unplugging the ABS controller should not affect shifting. I had my ABS controller out for a week while it was being rebuilt. The transmission uses the output speed sensor for the speed reference. When that one goes it will generate a P0720 OBD code. Do you have any codes?
