4ch. to 3ch. I finally muffed my factory 10 bolt and since its my DD i need it back on the road and don't care about Traction Control. I picked up a 3ch. out of a 95 car non TC. What do i need to do to swap to the 3ch. and keep ABS?

A 3 channel car and a 4 channel car are totally different in control/circuits and not compatable with each other. ABS & Traction Control are controlled/sensed by the same sensors. In order to keep ABS,you have to keep Traction Control. You would need your 4 channel axles,backing plates w/sensors installed in/on your replacement rearend.

Switch backing plates & axles from your old rear to the new one & you should be all set.

Ok So all i need to do is pull my stock axles and backing plates from the old one to the new one and everything will be good to go. I keep the tone ring in the 3ch. rear end just because its made to be there correct?
And yea my Stock axles are good i pulled the cover off the other day to see exactly what i did and it just broke 1 of the 4 bolts the the plate that bolts to the diff. and was catching on the bolts that bolt the ring gear on and getting wedged between them and the housing. Did a number to my TA cover though but can I salvage it.
