I'm at 270K miles on my car and starting to hear whine from the rear end. My mechanic buddy suggests that I just swap out the entire rear vice rebuilding it. I've called around to a few junk yards and a couple have asked about traction control.

Do all Z28's come equipped with traction control? How would I know? There are not any interior switches to turn it off and on in my car.

Thanks

not all cars came with it. if yours does not any 3channel rear end will work. tcs/asr is 4 channel rear ends

Is there a specific code that would appear on the door sticker? I see the "GU6" code that indicates the 3.42 rear gears.

I think NW9 is the option code for traction control.
3 channel ABS has a sensor on top of rearend.
4 channel ABS & TC has a sensor on each end of rear at brake backing plate.

Do you have a button that says ASR? Does it fall on its face when you mash it with out turnin it off? Sounds like you don't I'd hope you know after 270k!!! Holy **** ur blessed longest last m6 ten bolt ever!!!!!!

Nope .... no ASR button. And I don't have the sensors at each rear wheel .... but I wanted to check to make sure.

I'm definitely not hard on the car. I'm a cruiser, not a racer. So 65 mph on the highway with a cup of coffee and some good tunes .... I'm content.

I've got 225K miles on my '01 Suburban.
