The Lair

and @EatSleepTacos

I will be doing this mod soon as well, I wanted to do it last year but never got around to it. I picked up a switch like this to put under the AC controls but mine is Amber Illumination

The abs system uses wheel speed sensors to determine if one or more wheels are trying to lock up during braking. If a wheel tries to lock up, a series of hydraulic valves limit or reduce the braking on that wheel (This is the noise you hear). This prevents skidding and allows you to maintain steering control. It replaces the need to pump the brake pedal like back in the olden days. The system essentially pumps the pedal for you electronically. In my old work car, you could actually feel the quick pulses in the pedal when it kicked in.

But, in our trucks, when it kicks in, it is woefully inefficient and almost feels like you lose all braking power. It is scary as shit when you are standing on the brake pedal and you can hear all kinds of ruckus from the abs, but aren't slowing down.

 

I can see maybe turning around to check ur blind spots before starting to go into reverse? but that's ridiculous hahaha

 

That'll be nice. Which method are you going to use to disable it?

 

or maybe it was because you couldn't see past the mountain of snow in front of ur windshield

 

the one that's meant for my truck duhhh

I always set and/or get blindspot mirrors so I don't have any.

 

Mine even does it with wet roads if I hit the painted white stop line at sn intersection or the painted lines of a cross walk...freaking ridiculous!!!

maybe try this?

 

I got eaten alive by the instructors my first day on the emergency vehicle operators course when I went through the police academy because I backed with my mirrors. They wanted us to full on 70's style it and stand up with our butts completely off the seat and turn around to look out the rear window when backing!

 

ahahahahaha I was totally picturing a cop chase scene in my head while reading that hahaha perfect description adding in the ass off the seat hahaha did they want u to wear some aviators and have a Randy mustache?

 

Did someone say mustache?

I don't see a mustache anywhere?

Hahaha trail limos are taking over your build thread we will turn you to the dark side so much more room for activities!

 

Only person I know of is @Unchained 5150

 

I don't know why ya'lls abs is so sensitive mine only actuates if I am really hard on the binders like they are supposed to. You may have an ABS sensor starting to act up I have seen that before but it won't set a code. I would get someone to drive while I looked at the different wheel speed pids and there was usually one that was off by a few MPH causing that over sensitivity.
