    I don't no if this is the right place to post a question but I have searched around for the abs kill switch mod and can't find if there is a write up for the first gens. Found lots on second but no first thanks. Also touched up my tool box today.

    Ah ok. That sucks. I hope they can get it figured out for you and it isn't nothing serious.

    If it is that simple, than one could easily wire in a switch to that fuse for quick disconnect.

    Of course. But....
    I've never been in a situation when I had ABS where I didn't have standing time while my tires were airing down/up let alone necessitated yet another switch in my truck. Everyone has their own preferences.

    Somehow, I have managed to never die without ABS. Whereas others have come closer because of it. Especially in snow.

    DING!
    We have a winner. Hence the past tense use of "when I had abs"

    Exactly! My first couple of cars didn't have heat, properly working wipers and I'm sure as hell it didn't have abs, vsc, or even an ecm but drove them for years without any problems.

    I never understood how people think ABS has almost killed them in snow. I've driven many vehicles and the ones with ABS have always been better on snow and ice than ones without ABS. I've tried it in my taco and I hate having ABS not engage when I'm on an icy road. I stop way faster and can actually steer the truck when ABS is on. Maybe it's just different conditions we're driving in :notsure:

    Yup. I'm glad my truck doesn't have ABS. ABS is for people who don't know how to drive, or women. :p
