Ballpark cost of Brake Job on F53 Gasser

I've had (2) shops tell me the could change it but didn't have the right computer software to reset a Ford chassis.
One thought it might reset itself after replacement.

I'd be open to giving replacement a shot if someone can tell me where it's located?
Thnx

I'm guessing that the sensor is probably less than a $100 part that you could change yourself. On my WH chassis the ABS sensor is $75 and I can change it in about 5 minutes without any tools. The old sensor pulls out, unplugs, and the new sensor pushes in the hole as far as it will go and the electrical plug is connected. No adjustments needed.
I'm sure that someone will post that has changed the sensor on a Ford.

Not that familiar with sensors on motorhomes but most failures I've seen on auto abs sensors were the cables from the front wheels turning back and forth and suspension travel. Some cables are separately replaceable, some are one with the sensor.

The ABS sensor is something that you can check yourself with an ohmmeter. I good one will ready approximately 1200 ohms and a bad one will read something like zero or infinity ohms. Each sensor has a plug where you acn check it that is approximately 24" from the sensor.

I would look at the abs sensor first. Unless the brakes show wear from being stuck, Sensor is not to costly and a brake bleed might be all you need. 18000 miles seems a little early for a brake job.

1500 seems a bit steep to me. That being said, find someone that works on large trucks and school buses. I have found that most local Ford dealers are a joke as far as rv's are concerned.
As an edit....Auto Park Ford in Sturgis MI is a glaring exception to this. They helped us a few years back when we had a water pump go out. They never hesitated about it being a motorhome and even gave us a power connect to stay in their lot overnight.

thanks.... here's hoping.
Appreciate the quick response.

$1500
