Yeah mine is weird lol . only happens when I'm slowing down and go left. And I've only seen maybe a handful of people that have explained exactly what I said and that's where I read the thing about it being the opposite side. Now you said you took your fuse out. Did that disable abs all together ? Is it safe ? Like the brakes will always stop me ? Just wondering in case that has to be done. Cause I go down tons of hills daily and drive a lot with my daughter.

The wheel speed sensors can be tested (refer to Tech Article Index for the low speed ABS activation). They can also be replaced independent of the hubs, but if the hubs were just replaced and the WSS signal is found to be at fault, you are entitled to new hubs provided the ones you put in had a warranty. Now if the wire was torn, that is a workmanship issue and really not covered under any warranty, but you could try I suppose.
The fact that it does it when turning a particular direction would lead one to believe that there is excessive play in the new wheel bearing on the right side that pulls the reluctor ring away from the WSS altering the signal and triggering the ABS activation. This would be a warrantable defect.
Taking out the fuse is one way to handle it, but not necessarily the safest way especially if you drive in adverse conditions a lot (heavy rain, loose gravel, snow, etc).

My dad has the truck now , he says its doing while going straight also now. He's going to look at everything today and tomorrow. When I get some answers I'll be sure to update this. Thank you all for now 
Test the response from each front WSS and report back on your findings. You'll need a multimeter set to the mV-AC setting to test the response. You will also need to have the front end off the ground and safely supported to be able to spin the wheel with the multimeter connected to the WSS connector.
