    ABS Light is on

    Well, it looks like the issue was with the new replacement Hub. I bought another new one and installed it and the Light is now off. I guess the first new one was faulty. Thanks for all of you input.

    ABS Light is on

    Had the Code checked and it has to do with the very Hub that I replaced. The Code claims that my Sensor is not functioning properly. The Mechanic claims that he has heard that when you replace one Hub that for some reason the Sensor malfunctions because it is reading at a different rate than the...

    ABS Light is on

    Is it possible that the timing was that exact that when I changed the Front Hub Assembly a Fault showed up from a different Sensor. I will look into having the Code checked.

    ABS Light is on

    I switched out the Harness (ABS Sensor) with the Old one and it made no difference. Light came back on and is staying on. Can not figure out what changing the Hub would have to do with causing the ABS Light to come on.

    ABS Light is on

    I am pretty sure that the Harness is hooked in properly. Now, I know that in the Manuals they always suggest to yuo to disconnect the Battery, I neglected to do this before the changeover. Would this have anything to do with it.

    02 Front Diff. Fluid

    I changed the Front Diff. fluid on my 02 and only realised, after the fact, that I had used (80w90) Limited Slip (small print on Bottle). Would this be a problem?

    I've got 2 Questions

    I should maybe mention, the reason I am considering replacing the Trans. Cooler is because I have a newly rebuilt Transmission, a few months ago, I was pulling a larger Tent Trailer and managed to over heat the Trans., or so it seems. I looked out my side mirror and noticed smoke coming from...

    Sometimes it helps to know someone Hi A1C, I was told that the Tansmission would run me around $4K, I paid $2K, knew the Tranny shop. The same guys did my TC and charged me $1400. Good Luck.

    Transfer Case?? Hi DavidS, I have the truck in the repair shop, we have, hopefully, narrowed it down to the Transfer Case. Found that the Clutch Pack was burn't, the Pump was plugged, just to mention a few. Have not heard the final tally yet. I have not been impressed with this 02.

    4x4 CM Location Hi A1C, the CM is located in behind the Glove Box, it is a black Electronic boxy looking thing that measures about 4" x 5 1/4", it might even say 4X4CM on it. Should only have two Fasteners holding it in place with two Elecronic Plugs, plugged into it. Hope this helps.

    Front End Noise, 2002 Explorer

    Looks like a Front End Noise epidemic, my problem does not sound quite like the others. I have a binding sound when I turn Left or Right, depending on the mood of the Truck, it could also sound like a Clunk. Bearings seem fine , all the Boots look like new, Front End seems solid.
