Default problems with 3.73 swap

I just swapped in an Eaton posi, Motive 3.73's and a solid pinion spacer. Will driving the car before the speed sensor is re-programmed mess up the ABS? After the install I drove the car a few miles to heat cycle the new gears and now my ABS inop. light is always on and sometimes bounces back and forth w/ the low trac. light. In addition every time I step on the brake no matter how much or little pressure I apply the ABS sets off, even though the ABS inop. light is on. I don't get it. Did I screw something up?

Sounds like you forgot to tighten up you ABS wheel speed sensor after you were done. Double check them and maybe even clean them off.

Thanks, I'll double check. Just to make sure, it's the sensor in the top of the center section right? That's the only sensor my car has, there are none at the wheels. I always thought it was the traction control cars that have a sensor there, but I guess I was wrong because I don't have traction control.

Pull the ABS fuse until you reprogram
