2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS???
Hello, welcome to FTE!
I believe that all 1998+ 4x4 Rangers are equipped with 4WABS....mine has it.
I think it is optional on some 4x2's.
All early 90's Rangers (to present) have at least RABS standard.

Rockledge...seems like I remember reading somewhere that the 1998 Rangers had 4WABS standard, but in 1999 they made it optional again to cut costs. Realizing later that 4WABS is a great safety feature, they made it standard equipment again in '01 or so. Anyway, that's what I think I read somewhere.

2K3 Mach,
Look underneath your truck, along the driver's side frame rail, kind of behind the fuel filter....if you see something bolted to the frame that looks like this (called a "G-Switch"), then you definitely have 4WABS:

Thanks for the post. I don't see that G-switch. Behind the fuel filter I do see a place where 3 heafty plugs come together, with this plastic shield type thing. It doesn't look like a module, but more like a plastic protective piece. One of the plugs goes up into the cab.
A lot of people think that the Off roads have 4.10 gears with Limited slip, but mine has the 3.73 without Limited slip. I'm starting to think this truck doesn't have many standard options.
I guess I'll have to wait until winter to find out.
Thanks!

Open the hood and look directly behind the battery. If you have 4-5 brake tubes going into a 4" square module, you have 4WABS. If you have a 1"x3" module with only a coupe tubes, you have RABS.

Yeah, come to think of it, my '99 did have 4WABS. But it had every other option besides the 6-disc changer too so maybe it was ordered extra. I'm not sure.
