Re: Thoughts Regarding Wheel and Axle Swap on 59 Viking 40

You also said there is no sensor on the rear axle. 2 channel ABS?

Again thanks for the thoughts, I had over looked the 3500HD as a potential donor, though I didn’t state it earlier it is my hope to keep everything up to the original 14,000 GVW the truck had from the factory and the 3500HD does that.
The abs unit would get its input from the 2 front sensors, and the vss in the transmission, so it's a 3 channel. It was advertised as 4 wheel abs(most trucks without traction control are 3 channel).


You are right about the gvw. Gvw for the earlier 3500hd was 14,500, the later ones were 15,000.


I can get some measurements Wednesday or Thursday.
