Three Amigos and 4wd
Well I have read though the forum many different posts about the Amigos. It seems that there are two main causes the SVS fault or a bad ABS sensor. I don't have a scanner that will pull ABS codes. Is there a way to tell what is causing them to stay on? 6 Months ago they were intermittent (maybe more when it was wet or rainy I really don't remember) But they are on Permanent now. Which brings me to the 4wd portion. Everything I have found is saying since the TC is also not working its telling me that the 4wd isn't working correctly? Its a 00 D2 with 178,000

You don't necessarily need a dealer, or someone with one of their computers. I'd recommend you try to find someone with an ABS Amigo scanner from RSW Solutions, or even buy one yourself.

Believe me, this won't be the last time you'll need it, and for what a dealer will charge you to read the codes, buying the scanner will prove to be a good investment the second time you use it.

where in Jersey are you? do you own an Ohm multimeter? you can test the sensors using the meter to see if they respond correctly if all 4 do then it could be your shuttle valves. but there are other causes as well. if you plan on holding on to the truck i suggest buying one of your own. you can find them used as well.

The proper way is to have the system read for codes and then fix it.
