Default TCS Module????

hey, i was going to buy one of those TCS modules from SLP for my 98 Z28, since it doesnt have the switch to switch the traction control on and off. I was wondering if anyone out there has bought this and installed it themselves? and if so, how long did the install take and what did you have to do? Thanks!

it takes 36 seconds. all u have to do is pop off the radio bezel and unplug the switch then plug that one in between the switch and the factory plug then pop the bezel back on. it couldnt be any easier to install. good luck.

If you dont have the switch you most likely dont have traction control. Not all cars had it, if it has a little electric motor looking thing behind the battery with three cables going to it the car has traction control, if it doesnt it doesnt

Possible I guess, only had one 98 SS and it had the switch, so did my 98 TA. It was on option in 98though and not standard as far as I know but I could be wrong, if it has the TCS motor under the hood it has it - easiest way to know

They dont make a non-tcs (3 channel) 9" rear unfortunately, if you wanted to keep your ABS/TCS you would have to get a 12 bolt. A few people have used a wheel and sensor on the pinion on a 9" but its something you would have to make yourself.
