Hub Replacement Question

I am needing to replace my left front hub assembly, and have an extra brand new one here in my garage. My question is that it doesn't have an ABS sensor on it and I have 4 wheel ABS. Do I need to get a hub with the sensor or can I put the one on that I have? I already have it apart and won't go any further until I know for sure. Thanks again!!

Ya need one with the ABS. Returen it and tell them ya got the wrong one. Also make sure you get the correct lug threads. Mine are the fine threads. Take a lug nut with ya and thread it on the new hub, just to be sure.

Ok I went and swapped out the hub assembly. Getting ready to put everything back together. Is this a spacer or does it go? Assembly already has a yellow oring on it, do I swap it with a Ford yellow?

It stays and it's on backwards. The grooves go toward the center of the truck. It needs grease on it.

All finished up and much smoother! I'm sure it won't be long till I do the right side. I paid a mechanic $2000 right at two years ago to replace these assemblies.. Well it looks like these are the ORIGINAL hubs!! Of course that was before I found this forum. Ya know? I really can't thank you guys enough for all of the help with this truck over the last 6-7 months. God bless you guys!!
