Default Just got my 8.8 rear end

After 12 weeks of waiting i finally got the damn rear end, but Craig sent me a 4 channel ABS instead of 3 Channel ABS. Anyways i just wanted to see if there is anyone intrested in a 4 channel ABS 8.8 rear end before i go through the hassel of changing stuff to make this thing work with my car. The options in this rear end are:
1. 4 Channel ABS.
2. Eaton Posi.
3. 3.73 Gears.
4. 1350 yoke.
5. T/A Gridle.
6. Bolt in Axles.

I paid $2100 for this thing.... If anyone intrested in buying this rear end for $2100+shipping without waiting for 12 weeks to get one and you have a 4 channel ABS then send me a PM.

Well craig told me that i got a rear end that fits 3 and 4 channel ABS. He said that the reluctor ring goes on the front yoke of the driveshaft and I use my stock sensor and lengthen the wiring harness to the front of the driveshaft and the sensor reads off the reluctor that goes on the front yoke.
Does that make sense to you guys because it doesnt for me... How the hell im going to connect the sensor to the reluctor ring infront of my DS Also wouldnt that affect the ABS system because the DS will be spinning faster than the reluctor ring in the diff?

Thats how all his work...They work well like that as well. A buddy of mine here local to Craig did his like that since he has a 3 channel car and it works great. Not sure what you are skeptical about though. Get to installing it!

Can your buddy post pictures of his? I don't know how can i connect the sensor on the ring reluctor when its in front of the Drive Shaft? Believe me I want to install mine as soon as possible, but none of the installers that saw the rear end know how to get that ring infront of the DS and get a signal from there. My friend who is going to help me install the rear end did send craig an E-mail with some questions. I hope craig answer them as soon as possible so we can get going and install this thing.

Craig makes a bracket that you bolt the sensor to and then bolt the bracket to the torque arm mount if I remember correctly. It take some trial and error to get it adjusted correctly but it does work well.
