ABS Module vs Brake Bleeding

[x0infinityx]

Anyone know if/where the ABS module is in the 5th gen hemi ram?

Im going to pressure/vacuum bleed brakes and I cant seem to find info on where its located, which would influence which brake-bleed valve i open first.

It is in the engine compartment, left side by the firewall. Has a bunch of brake lines going into it.

Start with the right rear, left rear, right front and then left front. I've done it.

Odd I’ve always simply done the rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver method when flushing brake fluid. Never heard of the abs module factoring in outside of not letting the reservoir run dry as to not f with the abs system.

Whats your concern with its location?

You bleed the brake lines in order of longest to shortest distance from the abs module. Knowing the location of the abs module determines which order to bleed the brakes.

If you want to flush the ABS module, you'll need a bidirectional scan tool. The cheap way to do it is to flush the brakes then go out and hit the brakes hard which will cycle the abs module with new fluid but then you'll need to bleed the brakes again

anyone have any advice on the safety of skipping the ABS drain/refill?

hypothetically, would the new brake fluid all throughout the truck gradually mix in with the abs? or is there too much pressure/valves to prevent a gradual mix.

buying the scanner seems expensive and taking it to the dealer for abs-drain/refill only seems like a waste of money.

thoughts????

left = driver side ?
