Product Description
CPP970024 ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL FOR 1998.5-2005 DODGE RAM 2500/3500
The CPP970024 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor is a direct-fit rear differential ABS sensor replacement for 1998.5-2005 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Designed to replace the factory rear axle speed sensor and aftermarket Dorman 970-024 sensor, this unit restores proper ABS operation, vehicle speed signal communication, and brake system functionality.
The rear differential ABS wheel speed sensor plays a critical role in the Dodge Ram braking and speed monitoring system by reading tone ring rotation inside the rear axle assembly. A failed or damaged sensor can cause ABS warning lights, erratic speedometer operation, cruise control issues, transmission shifting problems, and loss of anti-lock brake functionality.
This CPP Diesel replacement sensor is engineered for reliable signal accuracy, factory-style fitment, and long-term durability in harsh diesel truck environments.
