ABS
The AC/AY's that got ABS (most if not all Imperials, 5th Aves and
NYers, optionally on some Dynasty's) were given one of two systems.
Reguardless which one you have, it is #1) the earliest Mopar ABS
systems and not well refined yet in design, #2) VERY expensive to
replace parts on and #3) a repair job nightmare.
Before I continue- I must point out to ****check local, state and
federal laws before attempting this**** as it is illegal in some
areas to tamper with ABS or airbag systems on cars.
If your laws allow it, I highly advice replacing the ABS system
with the traditional powerbrake system found on the lower priced
AC/AY's. Basically you're going to want to grab all the basic brake
parts off of the parts car (wheel cylinders, pads, master cylinder,
etc).
You pretty much just throw it on the car, bleed the system, test
and you're done. A worthy project to do at the same time you have to
replace the OEM air suspension system (if you have it) since chances
are, the parts car that can supply you with parts for this projcet
can also supply the other (and vice versa).
Although most dealers will look at you like you're crazy if you
ask for your ABS to be removed, many dealers/repair shops (where it
is legal) will gladly do this if and when your ABS system causes
problems.
Alternatively, you could perform a ABS to nonABS swap as a
preventative measure when you have spare time, since, after all, the
long term costs are cheaper.
