ABS wheel sensors

[RetPay]

Anyone out there have any non-WH part numbers for a 2003 (built) W-22 chassis ABS sensors?

RetPat. The sensors are sold at Heavy Truck Parts stores and are a Merritor/ Wabco part. The part number may vary by the length of the cable. I paid $125.00 at Workhorse and bought the same replacement for less than $50.00 with shipping. The part number was printed on the cable in several locations. Hope this helps. Lyledavid

Re Price differences.. I will say this about workhorse, They are not afraid of the old mark up

I'm 6'3" by over 300 pounds (And shrinking) There was just now way I could set seat and steering wheel so that I could see all the gauges on the dash epically that most important one.

THE SPEEDOMETER

I determined that a slightly LARGER wheel would let me see the speeed (I still have a few idiot lights I can't see... Like the high beam indicator but at least I can read all the gauges now)

So after many phone calls I found the supplier of the "Delux" wheel Damon installed on the rig, this was, at the time a 350 option on this coach,,, 350

I called the supplier, gave 'em my credit card and kind of forgot to ask.. They hand assembled a special wheel for me, Only two differences.

1:Black spokes (Workhorse's is brushed aluminum) and 2: 2" larger allowing me to see the gauges.

Now remember the "Delux" production wheel retails for around 350 (When I priced it)

Delivered price INCLUDING S&H on the custom, one-of-a-kind, hand built....

Hold on to your credit card

$127.00

I second that!

Depends on how you view the topic Driver

I view it as "Workhorse overcharging for parts"

since the original post was about how you can get the same, exact part, elsewhere for considerably less money

And I was saying: Brake sensors are not the only part where they take one "heck" of a mark up

Retpay,
Try googling "Meritor Wabco". I saved the package from NAPA but did not write the part number down. Should be something like MM28 or 30, etc. There are different versions. The kit includes a sensor w cable and a small package of lubricant and a new reatainer clip. May want to be sure to tell them which position,(wheel).
Hope this helps.

John-D, I was in agreement with you by suggesting that parts can also be obtained from alternate resources like "ron the bus nut." (click on the picture - its a link)

I didn't want to comment on Workhorse overcharging for parts because I don't know how all that works out.

If one looks hard enough you can usually come up with something you need for less money. Oemy does it all the time.

That said if you buy something direct from the dealer it's going to cost more. Try going to a Chevy dealer and buy an Allison spin on filter .... you're going to go the cleaners on that one for sure.

Glenn will treat you right...

I get my Allison filters from a Ford dealer cheaper than the Chevy dealer or the Allison dealer. But, I have to buy a case or two at a time.

Over charge...
I just replaced the radiator in my Honda.... Autozone/O'Rielly's wanted $150 to $175. I didn't even call the Honda dealer. I got a NEW one with Warranty for $24.99 off Ebay. It cost $29.99 to ship it. New hoses cost $42.50 with tax. go figure
