ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) with integrated ABS pump and motor assembly, designed for use on select Dodge RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 applications.
The HCU is a critical component of the vehicle's Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). It regulates hydraulic brake pressure through electronically controlled valves during ABS activation and works together with the vehicle's ABS electronic control system to maintain proper braking control.
This assembly is intended as a replacement for an original unit that is defective, damaged, or no longer operating correctly.

The assembly supplied will correspond to the configuration shown in the listing photographs.
The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit is responsible for controlling brake-fluid pressure within the ABS hydraulic circuit.
During ABS operation, the hydraulic unit uses internal valves and the electric pump to modulate brake pressure and help prevent wheel lock-up.
A malfunctioning HCU or pump assembly may result in:
This component may be appropriate when replacing an original ABS hydraulic assembly that has failed or developed an internal or electrical fault.
This listing may also be used for replacement purposes. Before purchasing a replacement, the original assembly should be compared carefully with the unit shown in the photographs.
ABS assemblies may vary between vehicles with the same model and model year due to differences in:
For this reason, vehicle year and model alone should not be considered sufficient verification.
We strongly recommend comparing the following items with your original assembly:
1. Hydraulic port locations
2. Electrical connector configuration
3. Mounting points
4. Pump and motor configuration
5. Hydraulic valve-body design
6. Overall physical appearance
7. Original equipment markings
8. Vehicle VIN/application
If your original unit differs from the photographs or you are uncertain about compatibility, contact us before purchasing.
Providing the vehicle VIN and clear photographs of the original ABS assembly can help determine whether the configuration is appropriate.
Professional installation by a qualified automotive technician is recommended.
Replacement of an ABS hydraulic control assembly involves the vehicle's pressurized hydraulic braking system and should be performed using the manufacturer's appropriate service procedures.
After installation, the vehicle may require:
Programming requirements vary by vehicle and replacement configuration.
Installation should be completed by a technician familiar with ABS and electronic brake-control systems.
When ordering a replacement, do not rely solely on a description such as "2017 RAM 2500" or "2018 RAM 3500."
Multiple ABS configurations may exist within the same model year.
The replacement assembly must be compatible with the vehicle's existing ABS system and hydraulic configuration.
Compare the original assembly to the listing photographs before ordering.
Included:
Only the components shown in the listing photographs are included.
No additional brackets, sensors, wiring, control modules, or accessories should be assumed unless specifically shown or stated in the listing.
This is a replacement/remanufactured ABS hydraulic assembly.
The unit has been prepared for replacement use and is supplied according to the configuration represented in the listing photographs.
Because ABS components are vehicle-specific and configuration-sensitive, proper identification and compatibility verification are essential before installation.
Yes. This assembly includes the ABS hydraulic control unit with pump and electric motor assembly shown in the photographs.
This listing is for the hydraulic ABS assembly/pump and motor configuration shown in the photographs. The electronic control portion should not be assumed to be included unless it is specifically shown.
No. Compatibility depends on the specific vehicle configuration. Always verify the original assembly before ordering.
Yes, provided the replacement configuration matches the original vehicle application and hydraulic/electrical configuration.
Programming, coding, configuration, or initialization may be required depending on the vehicle and replacement configuration.
Because the hydraulic brake system is opened during installation, the appropriate brake bleeding procedure should be performed according to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions.
Compare your original unit with the photographs, including the hydraulic ports, connectors, mounting configuration, and overall design. VIN verification is recommended when compatibility is uncertain.
Do not purchase based solely on the model year. Contact us before ordering so the configuration can be compared.
PLEASE VERIFY COMPATIBILITY BEFORE PURCHASE.
This is a configuration-sensitive ABS component. Matching the correct hydraulic and electrical configuration is essential for proper installation and system operation.
The photographs are an important part of the listing and should be used when comparing the replacement assembly with the original unit.
If you are purchasing this component as a replacement, verify the original assembly before installation.
