99StockGT Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Mess? Mess you say? Shiiiit that doesn't sound like a mess. Why I could tell you some stories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 It's a Chevy...beat on it with a hammer till it's learned it's lesson. Also Lucore, since Austin is in this thread already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Should be plenty of shops willing and able to tackle such a beast. We (Lucore) could certainly be an option for you if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 You can bring it to me at Dan Tobin if you wish. PM me if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 You can bring it to me at Dan Tobin if you wish. PM me if you do. However it sounds like it needs the ABS module replaced most likely, and the 1997-2000 modules are unique and discontinued. Best of luck.

Mace1647545504 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 From what I read since the 1255 is gone the ebcm should and I say should be ok. The 1226 and 1233 point at the right front hub from what I've read and been told. The ebcm is impossible to get as they are no longer made and if you can find a used one I've seen them from $700 to 2500 with no guarantee they are good. I know what I've shown doesn't look like a mess but I bought the car under duress it's a long story and one day if I make it to a gathering ask me w/o my wife present and we'll go through it. The 2nd day I had it I had to put tires on it. Also it has the infamous bolster tear covered with gorilla tape, the environmental is stuck on defrost(won't move) but blows from the defroster and the vents. The radio needs some control knobs replaced. The right front turn signal light exploded so when I went to replace it I realized it broke the back of the light fixture so I replaced it and used duct tape to keep it in the fixture, 2 days later it blows again. And lastly the drivers side headlight motor nylon gear is bad, it still works but growls for 15 seconds after you shut it. These are all minor things but when you add it up it just pisses me off.

99StockGT Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ok ok.. getting slightly messy Are you getting any driveability issues from it with the wheel hub codes coming up? Growling/grinding/etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The rear question. Can a 98 vette operate completely fine with a bad ABS module? Or, do you have to do some sort of ABS module delete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The rear question. Can a 98 vette operate completely fine with a bad ABS module? Or, do you have to do some sort of ABS module delete? Yeah it does fine, just lights on the dash. I purposely disable my ABS now that my 97 has big brakes when I autocross. It is such a shitty system it kicks in all the time, I don't think it's capable of keeping up with the much faster stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Most of the ABS from those generations whether its Ford GM or anyone else was shitty. The system on my 99 mustang was a complete PITA with traction control/ABS linked together it made for a nightmare. Remove sensors, disable late, enjoy driving again.

Mace1647545504 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Like Scott says no handling issues just the light, and I'm old so no abs doesn't bother me and the traction control I really don't drive it that hard to have the back end break away. I had the hub replaced so there is issue there, there is some connection on the hub that some have said need to be straightened out using a dental pick, but I have to get the car up in the air. The list is big but it's all small stuff and it just pisses me off. And it's still vette and it gets complements even though it's a 10 footer.
