how do I know if I have 2 or 4 wheel abs? Once I know I need to change my wheel bearing assembly and I need to make sure I get the right part. Any tips or help.

If it has front sensors , its 4 wheel
Keep in mind i'm parts stupid, what do the sensors look like and appx. where on the axle or hub are they? Thanks
Look for a wire coming off the hub, that would be the abs sensor wire. Is it a 2000 F350? not clear in subject line. If yes, you should have 4-wheel ABS. If you have auto hubs, you'll also have a vacuum line coming from the hub, assuming you meant 2000 F350.
At the risk of sounding harsh, is replacing a hub a smart job for someone who is "parts stupid" as you put it?
Yes it is a 2000 f350 manual hubs and unfortunately I just don't know the parts/names etc. when I'm looking at them. However, I am very good with tools and can do just about anything. I just need someone else to tell me the fix. I appreciate your candor and normally I would agree that someone making that comment should not be doing this. Thanks
OK, you have manual hubs, so if you have ABS there should be a wire attached to the steering knuckles. But IIRC all the Superduties had ABS, so I'm not sure why a parts supplier would have a non-ABS hub.
Remember these are sealed unit hubs as opposed to standard spindle-type hubs. I'm considering replacing mine with a spindle conversion kit.
