A friend of mine is building a truck with non-factory axles, and there is no way to hook up ABS on it. Even if there were, the tires are so big the ABS would never work right anyway. Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the ABS system so the light doesn't come on and the warnings don't pop up on the DIC?
Is it possible to remove ABS and disable all warnings

If you can't turn it off with EFI live, I would say just take the light out of the dash so the light doesn't come on. I my end up doing that to my truck because it is like 450 bucks for a new ABS pump.
Would you be interested in building some sort of fooler module that would plug in to the speed sensor and send signals to the ABS module for the front wheel speed sensors?
Dakota Digital (and probably many others) build speedometer correction boxes that basically just fool digital speedos. You'd need two, but you could calibrate the wheel sensors so they appear to be stock size tires. ABS might even work in that case (not sure how well...)
Ben (and any Electrical Engineer or Computer Engineer worth his salt) could build you a box to do that as well, but the costs for a one-off box might be off-putting. Unless there is a large market for this kind of box I am overlooking :rofl:
Keep the photos coming as the build goes along. That looks like it will be a fun rig.

Josh, I don't know what the difference is between the bus I bought and the 2500-3500, but the bus didn't have a BCM and the ABS had its own computer. I never installed that stuff in my truck and I don't have any codes. The truck you have a picture of looks a lot newer then my LLY. Mark did the tuning and turned off the things that needed to be turned off so I wouldn't have any codes.

Have you considered a tis2web reflash of tcm and ecm for a non abs built truck. A medium duty built truck uses a standalone abs system iirc and I don't think its on the comm bus.
Also you could just buy an ipc for a non abs truck.

I am able to get abs sensors for the same size tires. They are for a CAT wiring harness and air brakes. Probably won't work but what do I know.
Basically in medium duty 650 6500 the ford international gmc all use the same systems...........you know the ones that always through rear wheel speed sensor codes for air gap?

Never said they worked right
But figured I'd through my 2 cents in. your obviously more mechanically inclined than I am so I figured it was worth a shot.
