I have never installed one of these but I found a video that has almost identical looking parts which shows how to install the ABS sensors. It may help answer your questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOOzyZH1oOIAlso, this file shows the Wabco sensor installation. http://beamalarm.com/Documents/installation_instructions_for_meritor_wabco_wheel_speed_sensor_replacement_kit.html

OK, I crawled under the coach and disconnected and removed one of the damaged rear ABS sensors (see attached picture). I read the number imprinted directly on the wire and it is marked on the senor wire as: WABCO 4410328090. I called several truck parts dealers here in Chandler AZ (where we are staying for another week to visit with friends and meet up with former work colleagues), and found one (Midco Truck Parts in Chandler) that had them in stock for under $40 ea. These are genuine WABCO (made in Germany) OEM parts, and the parts guy told me that they can be ordered by another number: R955336.
I have also attached a picture of the new sensor and the spring sleeve that is used to hold it in place. Now all I have to do is have someone tell me how to insert the sensor back in the wheel. I.e., does the sleeve go in first and then the sensor get pressed into place? Or does one put the sleeve around the sensor and then insert the combination in one motion? Does anyone know the proper procedure/technique?

Hi LaMonte,
do you know what manufacturer that 16616424 part number is for (Wabco, Eaton, Bendix, etc.)?? Where did you purchase the part?

New (never opened box) cost over $400 Sell for $250 including shipping

I had an overheated front brake also and had to replace the front one...
front ABS sensor on my 2001 Contessa was part number: 16617181
rear ABS sensor is part number: 16616424

Hi Mike,
Yes, thanks, I have read that thread (as well as all the other forum threads that came up with a search using "ABS sensor" as the keywords). I am trying to find the specific part numbers to order for my rig (99 Contessa Naples, Magnum chassis). I'm hoping someone has already gone through this with the same rig as mine, and can tell me what part numbers to order. I have already determined that there are at least 3 or 4 different sensors that look just like mine. Maybe they are interchangeable?

Not that BCS won’t do a good job, but my personal experience was that Peterson Cat in Redmond was less expensive. Being that they are more chassis/engine specific than BCS, with CAT techs they were quicker too. That’s probably why it cost less.

Thanks guys.
I did all the fluids and filters. Fuel, air dryer, oil, and air. Had the trans flushed, radiator flushed, new belts and hoses, etc when I bought it a back in Sept.
I know the shop used NAPA filters, on oil, and fuel. I guess I will wait till BCS for service.
I have always believed that dirt causes friction and friction causes wear, so if the oil is cleaner with less dirt.....

Take Gerald’s admonition to heart, otherwise you’re wasting time and money. Whatever you do, Andrew, don’t let a mechanic talk you into anything but CAT filters, especially fuel: 1R-0751 and 1R-0781.
Actually my owner’s book says Racor R90T for the primary fuel filter, but stick with CAT 1R-0781.
Oil: CAT 1R0716.
