Is this what you did with yours? You ever tried locking up your brakes with it disabled? How was it, did it brake evenly?

Thanks, I see a bunch of machine shops in that area and will try USA Machine out if they do good work.

It looks like my axles will need a sleeve pressed onto them and then the reluctor ring pressed onto that and then I'll have them swap the backing plates to keep the speed sensors. I'm having RPM put in 3.89 gears so the car is down now anyway.

You get your 9 inch in yet?

USA machine shop couldn't do the work (great guys to talk to though and remembered doing a H/C on a Camaro, not sure if it was Miguel's SS) and another shop estimated close to $200 to make the sleeves and put them on and didn't know if they could get to it before Friday. So I called Speed Inc and they got some axles with the provisions already machined shipped out to me for under $300 and they should be here before the weekend.

My Blazer did the same thing; my wheel hub took a dump killing my bearings and wheel speed sensor. The ABS light came on and the brakes would pulsate, scared the **** outa me. I yanked the fuse and everything was fine. Actually, IMO, the truck stops better W/O ABS when i needed to hammer the brakes.

Yeah the pedal pulsing is annoying. Not sure why but when I pulled a fuse the pulsing stopped but the car braked dangerously unevenly.
