umodelnut Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This is Vinny's Papa.We need some help. Our old cab is wired for an Eaton antilock brake system,the replacement cab is not.I am not familiar with this system.The book says there are front and rear axle sensors.Our twin rear was replaced with a single axle.I do not know what the sensors look like or if the single even had one.Is this system necessary on our truck? If so what do the sensors look like, and where are they located? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Matt Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26090-papa-needs-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Sounds like someone already cut off all the wires. Very typical on a truck that old. The sensors are wired on each hub. You don't need any part of that system. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26090-papa-needs-help/#findComment-127452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 We had one on our 1978 Hahn firetruck. It was more trouble than it was worth and eventually got the wires cut.

Rob Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi Matt and great to see you post. Be rid of any remnants of that system. They were a constant troublemaker.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Olivetroad Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We just replaced a rear spring pack on a International with that system. My in-house brain surgeon panicked when he cut the wires while cleaning years of grime off the axle housing. I let him suffer for a few minutes of angst, then I just reached over the frame and starting yanking it all out. Throw it away.

Olivetroad Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I should clarify my last post - throw the wires away, not vinny - keep him and use him to sweep the shop, pick up tools, etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26090-papa-needs-help/#findComment-127674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
