So my front end on my 06 has been sounding funny. I went to a local shop that everyone praises. They are a great shop, kinda high but good work and don't try to f you over with bs stuff.
So I had lower ball joints, a tie rod and pair of new hubs. Well I know they get their parts from the dealer or napa.
I dropped it off and in a few hours it was done and even gave me alignment on the house, which I think that's becuase I used my jobs number and stuff just incase someone had to pick it up for me.
Anyway, I got there before they closed. All looked good and I talked to the aligment guy about stock a arms and lifts. He said he got it pretty darn close. I got in and started it up. The traction control light, esp and abs light was on.
I go grab the guy that does all the work for us. He puts it on the scanner and it said right front abs sensor. I told them it wasn't on when I brought it here. He said no promblem, ran inside and grabbed the owner. We talked nicely.
The next morning I bring it in and they had the sensor from the dealer. Installed it. No promblems, no more lights, no cost to me. I pulled out of the drive way and all the lights are back on. So I pull it back in and they put it back on the scanner. Me and the owner is bsing about jeeps and stuff. The mechanic came over and showed me that it said toner ring on right front.
So the toner ring is what the abs sensor reads, its built into the hub, which is new. So I ask them now what......
Well they now say that the jeep is fine for a few days until the new hub gets here. Just incase we pull the abs pump fuse so the traction control don't try to correct anything. I know from 02-05 the kj didn't have abs. In fact this is the first vehicle I've owned that had abs/tc.
The hub is new and they just want to charge me labor to change it out (65/hour, they are calling this dionagtics fee) and it will be a few days for the hub to come in.
I don't want to dump another 100+ bucks into it and a full day of sitting at a mechanics shop. They work slow, but its right.
So........
Can I run with the abs pump fuse out and forget about it. Will it be fine?
Already talked to my insurance rep (good friends 10 years). He said that I don't get a discount for abs, so "fell free to mod my jeep". And its now became my weekend toy. I don't care for traction control and we dobt get ice or snow so I'm good there.
TLDR: abs toner ring in hub (new) is messed up, can I run with abs pump fuse pulled and the traction control will stay off?
