What I meant was, if the hub/hubs are bad they can foul the abs sensor and throw a code. So, if you jack up the front and check for wobble in the hubs that may be the problem. If they wobble they need to be replaced anyway.

i checked them yesterday. the left one had some play so ill be replacing that today. i really hoping thats it.

My scan tool at my shop reads ABS codes...
Kinda off topic buy my stupid 02 Tahoe Z71 had an ABS code (changed all my rotors/pads/copper brake lines) and couldn't do the automated ABS bleed because of a bad sensor in the hub. Hooked the new hub up without installing it, did the bleed and returned the hub

Pretty sure I set some sort of record for bleeding brakes on one of these trucks too. Start to finish was about 15 minutes.

[heavy_chevy29]

i put the hub in and the light is still on. i guess ill have scanned and go from there

An ABS light won't clear itself when fixed. It won't show up as an active code but will be presently stored as a code until you clear it from the computer.
