Killing ABS Warnings for 92 3/4ton LBZ Swap

[BowtiedBandit]

I am in the process of fitting an LBZ Dash into my 92 3/4 chevy as a part of my LBZ/Allison Swap. I have a wrecked 06 and access to any parts off other trucks as needed. My biggest hang up right now is when I turn this thing on for the first time the ABS isn't going to be happy cause my truck doesn't have ABS and from experience, when the ABS on the duramax isn't functional you get an awesome chime and the warning lights on the dash and the DIC is happy to tell you there is a problem. I could probably do the work and get ABS swapped into the truck but I would like to avoid it if I can.

Any Help/Suggestions?

Could you disable it with efi live? So anything abs related is not reported?

Pretty sure efi won't do it. It didn't on my 02 anyway. I had a bad abs pump and was to cheap to change it. Couldn't find anything to disable the lights. So I took the dash apart and electrical taped over them. That wouldn't help for the digital screen though obviously

unplug the ABS module on the 92 bout the only way unless you figure out how to get the two to talk nicely to each other

Do the Topkick/Kodiacs have ABS? I wonder if you could program the cluster with the medium duty calibrations and it would make it ignore an ABS input signal.

Could always do it the low budget way. Electrical tape over the warning lights in the cluster. And just deal with the chimes. Or you can get an aftermarket radio unit, which will not chime for the abs.

Sounds like I am going to be putting 4 wheel ABS in the truck then. That is gonna be fun for when I do my SAS down the road.

I like this idea, I'm gonna look into it

yes of course the [gmt-560] topkick/kodiak trucks have ABS......

As a matter of fact, the kodiak/topkick trucks actually have even "fancier" ABS than the non-ESC pickup trucks do. Kodiak/TopKick has true 4-channel ABS, non-ESC pickup trucks only have 3-channel ABS.

Its a moot point though, because the kodiak/topkick instrument clusters are completely different than the pickup truck clusters anyway. Its like asking if you can use efilive on a ford.
