ABS or no

I am getting ready to replace my drivers side calliper, it hung up. I fugured i may as well replace the rotors and pads now too. My question is how do i know if i have 4 wheel abs or not, because the rotors are different sizes. Also what is a good rotor to go with? I would like to go with the powerslot cyro rotors but i just dont think i can afford it right now.

Thank you

Trucks with 4 wheel abs will have a sensor on the front hub. Do you see a wire running from the back of the wheel well into the area under the rotor? Can't give you any advice on the rotors though, sorry.

The ABS connection is the only electrical wire-looking line that goes to the hub. The disconnect is mounted in the plastic wheel well liner to the rear of the front wheel. It'll be fairly obvious once you stick your head in there.

Not sure if you have a 2wd or 4wd but 2wd looks a little different. As Chris stated it is the only wire harness in that general area if you do have abs.

Very true, a 2WD truck will either have just the brake line going to the hub or the brake line and the ABS electrical line going there. Good point.
