Make sure you have that updated switch on the MC with harness, Ford still does the recall free apparently...but for $20, you are better off ordering yourself to save time.

Worth stressing to folks!

If poster has yet to do this, search for my user name about the recall. I have photos of it all, the Ford part number, and how to install it.

Good stuff here! Thanks!

I replaced all brake lines and ABS valve and I'm ready to bleed it all out. Shouldn't the ABS valve be bled before the rear wheels?...AND...how do I go about drainng the ABS valve anyway?...I see a bleeder... Just pump till it pees good?

Thanks!

Lots of later model stuff has this update, my 10th Gen F150 did not. I just grabbed the subharness and switch from the junkyard.

Maybe I missed it in the thread, but have you replaced the rubber hoses? Have you drained/flushed the system to be sure there are no blockages in the lines? If there is/are blockages, it could leave one or more wheels dragging. I just got through a 66 Galaxie that had near complete blockages that kept tightening up wheels over short distances. Blieed a wheel or let it sit for a day, the fluid would bleed back through the blockages and into the master. Drive it, and all was well until a few brake applications repressurized the wheels and left them dragging again.
