I'm not sure but I imagine that there would be a speed sensor on the rear axle as well.
Ive often wondered if this more simple system would be an easier retro fit to a ACVW.
I can see the arguments for and against ABS, but if your having a blond moment and just jump on the brakes the ABS could save your bacon.

A lot of the older trucks (and even some not so older ones - as in my 2002 Dodge Dakota) are just using whats called RWAL abs (rear wheel anti lock) . These systems have a sensor on the rear axle and compare it to the speed of the vehicle . Its meant to prevent rear wheel lock-up from the light rear end of a truck . I found over the years working on them that they are marginal at best .
