abs removal on a 96 blazer..

killerperformance · 01-16-2009, 05:23 PM

i was wondering if any one has removed there abs system to get more room under the hood.. and also pics would be great..

i removed mine on my 96 s10 back when I had it. it was simple, since my 96 already had a proportioning valve. I didn't have to buy anything....well besides a couple of fittings. It was very simple.

yeah i figured theres not much to it.. i just didnt know if there was alot of line making involved or if it was fairly easy..

i used all of the stock lines...had to flare a couple...but i did it in under an hour.

what is the benefit for reomving the abs anyways? isnt it better to have?

killerperformance · 01-17-2009, 05:25 PM

I removed mine when I lost the factory computer. Real easy to do some brake line and a fitting.

i need the room in the engine bay, so i'm losing the abs. simple as that.

immexicansostfu · 01-18-2009, 09:02 PM

still dont see why you would take it out. better stopping or what?

So I want to remove my ABS as well...here are a couple pictures of what my engine bay looks like

I heard so many people using proportining valves...is this what it looks like? or is this just some sort of distribution block

So basically all I would need to do is cut the lines off the ABS unit and attach to that "proportioning valve"?

that first pic you posted is a proportioning valve. and yea, remove the lines from the abs unit, and attach them to the prop valve.

djremix · 03-04-2009, 06:39 PM

Sounds like it will be pretty simple...of course I sound have asked BEFORE I bought a new polished aluminum proportioning valve. Anyone wanna buy it? LOL

Did your brake light come on or stay on after you removed the ABS

I haven't hooked anything back up yet, I just took EVERYTHING out from the master cylinder down. I'm redoing everything in new after the prop. valve
