Just curious if anyone might know because I just ordered some new hub assy and they do have a wire attached to them with a sensor but want to make sure I'm getting the right part. The website says they are an exact replacement, but you know how people sell items. Any input would be great.

Thanks

From a stop, when I went to go, the traction control would kick in and cause the car to hesitate. The ABS light and Traction control light would come on and the chimes would happen. If I turned off the traction control button on the dash, the same things would happen except the hesitation.

I guess when the sensor fails, the CPU thinks the car is loosing traction and kicks on the traction control....

oh ok. The problems I am having is. well when turn out on to a street the traction control will come on for a second, but that's it as far as that goes. I have a humming noise coming from the driver side front wheel no matter what, usually when I accelerate but hear it at random times too. By reading I thought it was the front diff, but my mechanic says it is the wheel bearings. I just had the ring and pinion replaced 6 months ago, so he says it has to be coming from the wheel bearings? I don't know, but I have been hit with all of this at the same time. I just changed the rear shocks with monroe OE replacements then the compressor stopped working now that needs replaced, the oil pressure sending unit replaced,front brakes, URPA doesn't work, and now this. I just hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. My wife wants me to just get rid of it, but if I could get the truck where it needs to be mechanically then i would be lovin it, and hopefully be able to drive it for a little while before something else goes south. I appreciate your replies, and look forward to having a better luck with my truck (hopefully)...
