Three Amigos? Should I care?

Thanks. I don't drink coffee, so do u mean this will take a while?
If its likely the SVS is bad/leaking and if I replace the SVS and the seals why would I want to modify anything... esp something that controls my breaking (I should note I have not had the time to read what options A and B involve... or why one would do such a mod)

It's actually more likely it's the wiring (the connector actually) that is bad than the SVS or a leaking problem. I've done the wiring mod twice and only one of them require seals, and the SVswitch was still working fine even though the seals were leaking. The wiring mod is what actually fixed the issue on that one.

All along the thing thay was bothering me was the thought of modifiying my abs system and by passing a 'circuit board'. A better way of explaining it is option B isnjust a rewire that routes around a known bad internal connection. And the 'circuit board' - its not a circuit board, ist wiring that runs through a fiberglass green board.
So @JasonRedRover to answer your question: when I do choose to take the time to fix my 3A's I will go with option B. Just make sure you get a seal kit and replace the seals too.
As for your error codes, I think it best you go to someone that has the proper scanner to read the true error codes......

Abs
I did replace the shuttle valve and the lights were off most of the time. Occasionally they would turn on, but come off next time I started the truck.
Several weeks ago I washed the engine, carefully, at the carwash. Since then the ABS lights have been off. The P1418 code is gone, down to the P1415 code.
Not sure what I did, but the best $3 I have put into the truck.

Find out what codes are present when amigos are on, if the codes have to do with the shuttle valve, then the shuttle switch could be bad, due to the leaking if that is the case. Otherwise it also could be the wheel sensors that could be throwing the code and causing the amigos. Brake dust and such could be the culprit, and cleaning could solve the problem. Just throwing this out there, because shuttle valves are not the only thing to cause the amigos to visit.
