Traction Control Question Today I purchased an excetionally nice 01 SOM SS. However when the car was originally ordered it was ordered without traction contol. I was needing some help on the following questions.
1. Are the rearends the same on the TSC supplied and the non supplied TSC cars from GM?
2. If so, what all do I need to do to install TSC on my car? The switch location on the dash is there, I would think that the wiring connection should be under the dash as well I may be wrong.
Thanks,
Eric

A 3 channel(ABS) system and a 4 channel(ABS & TC) system are different in hydraulics,mechanical, and electronics/electrical control.
The ABS module has a different GM part number than the ABS/TC module.
The PCM of a 3 channel does not have TC in it to actuate/enable.

I have the actual traction control assembly if you want it. Everything you need, brackets bolts cables etc..
Id check to see if it originally had it, maybe just removed.

JB, my other car 99Z has it and I would much rather turn it off if I didn't need it if you know what I mean. Especially once I get my 408 in it. Just a little insurance.

No Traction control (TC) is a 3 channel system, 1 channel per ea front wheel and 1 channel @ the rear diff. If you have a wire connection at the top of the diff it is a 3 channel.
Retrofitting TC would be a beast imho as it impacts the rear axle, ABS, throttle linkages and the PCM. If you were to want to retrofit the car I would suggest finding a donor as the only possible means to get everything operative. I track my car (HPD) regularily and like the flexibility to run with and without depending on conditions and my familiarity with the road course.
