   Well, a failing memory is a distinct possibility, especially in my
case!! :-)

   However, I was pretty sure about my recollection, so I did a quick
search just to check. I wonder if it could be a GenII vs GenIII
thing? (we were working on Jason's '95 at the time) I did a search
at Wyckoff and Rock Auto, and in both places, when you specify a GenII
hub, all it shows is one '92-96 unit with no mention of ABS, but if
you do the same for a '97-04, it has one version for 2 wheel ABS and
another for 4 wheel ABS.

   Course, it might be that both places are just out of the one
version :-) but even so, neither description mentions ABS so I have to
wonder.
