Consumer Description

STARTED UP AND THE ABS DASH INDICATOR LIGHT STAYED ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANICS AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. MY MECHANICS FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS RIGHT AWAY. THEY SAID THAT A FIRE HAD OCCURRED AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. THE ABS CONTROLLER WAS BURNT AND THE WIRES LEADING FROM IT. *TR
