ABS Module???
My 02 Ex V10 2WD has the ABS light on. The truck i initially started to pull to pass side when braking. Took it in and the mechanic said the caliper was sticking. He replace both front calipers and new lines. The truck now vibrates when braking and sometimes doesnt move in drive unless you press the gas. He called today and now says its the ABS module. I hate to keep throwing parts at it without truly knowing especially since the ABS module is discontinued and I may need to get a remanufactured one. Anyone with this similar issue?

Well if you had a caliper sticking and the vehicle was pulling to one side, more than likely you have a warped rotor. They are cheap enough either OE, or aftermarket. I would start there. If the anti-lock is truly activating, than you may have a bad wheel sensor.

Unfortunately all shops (including dealerships) do anymore is throw parts at something (at the owner's expense of course) until the problem either goes away or until the customer quits coming back. Sorry to say it, but if you can't DIY repairs, then owning a 20 year old vehicle is going to be extremely expensive and time consuming.

I was having the same scenario a couple years back...which turned out to be the ABS module. BTW, it's hard to find rebuild kits for brake calipers nowadays, I guess they want you to just buy a new unit. There is a test you can perform on it to see if you have a bad unit. You use a paperclip to perform it so you might search that. I wound up getting another unit from a salvage yard at the time.
