Ah ha! I should be more careful wording things. The parts store said there was no rear wheel sensor/s or tranny sensor listed in any of the manufacturers catalogs they have. I did find reference in my Chilton manual to a VSS on the tranny; I didn't see any reference to one on the T-Case but I take your word that this is the case (no pun intended).

j Cat, you make big sense, "...abs would compare all sensors other wise how would it work properly with the rear wheels sliding and the front wheels rolling."
That is very true, "Preventing rear wheel lock up often makes the difference in controlling the vehicle during hard or sudden stops."
There are a number of components that can fail in the ABS system but hopefully this rear VSS is not a dealer item otherwise the wreckers would look appealing again
