Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / July 2006Ping: DENNY... abs sensor
Got it changed at last! First they gave me the wrong one, the transmission one... then they didn't have the right one... got a refund after 2 days.. Checked every place around, most places listed the rear sensor but couldn't get it... "no longer in stock".. "unavailable", etc.. Broke down and had a friend in a tire store buy it from the dealer for $40... the only gave him 20% off... He was going to put it on the rack and change it but got busy, so I decided to do it myself.... got the printouts of your emails and jacked the back end up, etc... What a bitch! I couldn't get the thing very high with my lil floor jack and stands, but enough to get under the truck and play with it... couldn't get the nut to break loose and the whole brake cable assembly or whatever kept trying to turn... sucker was really rusted on.. I knew from looking at the new part that the nut had to be on a bolt running through the sheet metal knuckle buster around the thing, but couldn't get a line of sight and couldn't even FIND the sucker by touch.. Gave up after about an hour and put the tools away... I'm too old and fat for this sh.t... I knew that if I kept messing with it I'd break or bend something and be buying more parts.. Got the one gas station in the area that actually has a mechanic there to put it on the rack... he looked at it and asked how the hell i even got TO the bolt without a lift/rack... It took him 15 min., a lot of penetrating oil and 2 skinned knuckles to break the sucker loose.... about 30 seconds to put the new part on... He didn't want to charge me, so I gave him $20 and told him to have a good lunch.. My gut feeling is that cryco hired a consulting team to determine the worst possible place and direction to mount the sensor in... the gas station guy agreed.. lol Thanks again, wabbit... I appreciate the help, part number, etc... Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm My God!!! It's been how long since we talked about that????

You wouldn't recognize Nan now.. she's about 95 pounds lighter.. Started weight watchers in April of 05.. She lost a lot, I found a little... it all balances out.. *g* Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm >>Gotta be there to admit it. I'm fighting it.

I could stand to loose another 40# or so, see how that feels and decide from there. I'm 242 now and that is in my birthday suit. That is the only suit I wear, no bunny suits. I'll leave that for visually challanged. FMB (VBG) >> You wouldn't recognize Nan now.. she's about 95 pounds lighter..

The hospital said that the major cause of gall stones is weight loss and it seems that most of the folks that we've talked to that lost a lot of weight had to have theirs taken out.. Good reason not to diet.. *g* Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm >>> You wouldn't recognize Nan now.. she's about 95 pounds lighter..

My >bill is in the mail.. yep.. been about 5 months.... it took 2 months for the back ordered part to get shipped to me and it was the wrong sensor..... then the procrastination factor, since the brake and ABS light were on but everything (speedo/cruise/etc) worked fine...
