Don't know if anyone has experienced this yet but, one of our newer feed trucks 2020 Pete 567,straight truck, disc brakes all around with 80k miles has developed abs issues that were a little tough to diagnose..I'll spare all the details of chasing my tail around and racking my brain,but after much investigation found the new tone rings are not pressed on and are a 1/4 inch bolt on piece of crap, secured by 5 T27 torx screws and get rust jacked enough to push the sensors out just enough in between the fasteners to cause a code to appear, and once you get a code the cruise or engine speed up doesn't work, because newer trucks don't have speedo sensors on the trans tail shaft anymore and we kinda need the speed up for the pto pump..Now unless you pull the wheels there is no way to even see the tone ring, at least on the drives and conveniently the sensors are accessible from inside the spider so you put a new sensor in, clear the codes and it's good to go for a couple of days...The Pete rep./ salesman that comes to our shop on a weekly basis says they haven't had this problem before but it took us two weeks to get the backordered tone rings hmmmm..good news though, the T27 screws are stainless so they're easy to get out,after you remove the caliper and heavy ass hub with the rotor attached and replace the wheel seal...Bad news is the same steel piece of crap tone ring is $195 and is going to fail again..We tried slathering copper neverseize in between the hub and the new ring fingers crossed...Well that's enough of my rant, but it's coming to a shop near you especially if you live in the salt/ rust zone...Good Luck...Stinky
