does anyone else notice their abs is not that good. when i first got my truck i took it back and said the abs dont work. the guy at the dodge dealer said thats how it is with rams they dont work on ice or wet roads. now dont get me wrong its fun sometimes but when i have to stop its not gunna be fun. they said it was because it only has rear abs. is it just me or are all of them like that?

The only way you could get the 4 wheel ABS was order it that way. Now I think for 08 and up it comes with 4 wheel ABS.

I know the a$$ is so light they had to do something because any even slighty hard braking without a load was wheel lock up...but like Ice Hemi said braking is almost 75% from the front wheels so it just sucks not to have it

I actually wish our trucks didnt have abs. Granted I dont drive on ice. But I had to hit the brakes hard going 80 mph and was doing fine controlling the the brakes my self until the abs decided to turn on. It started to pulsate and was increasing my stopping time by a lot. Guess I just dont like computer controlled parts. Never seem to work as good as a human can.
