G'day Fellas,

I done the servicing on the Hubs & Wheel Bearings of a mate's 2002 F-250 XL 4.2Ltr 4X4.

However I noticed as soon as I pulled the first wheel that there was no cable going to the ABS??
I went round a checked the other side; same story??

However when I removed the caliper and pulled the Rotor Disc off, the actual sensor was in place on both sides.
The electrical cables had simply been snipped off at the sensor. No sign of any cable being there (no old cable hanging from up under the fender or bay).
The mate said it had been that way from when he bought it from the PO.

It's done 330K km and he has never noticed any issues with braking.
No ABS trouble light comes up.

Would this have been how these XL 4.2 trucks came form factory or has the PO simply cut them off .

I guess I'm asking; Did the lower spec XL models come with ABS.

Those with these XL 4.2 trucks should be able to answer this.

Anyway I pulled the ABS Sensor out and used the RiffRaff fitting to pump grease into his wheel bearings and do the servicing.

If thse don't have ABS then I intend to permanently fit greasing Zerks in there for him.

Cheers,
Reg
