Default ABS with 9 inch
Can you have a 3 channel abs with a ford 9 inch. If not what do I do with the sensor and will the front abs still work.

nope. go ahead and rip out all of the ABS wiring and block cause none of it is going to work.
i ripped out everytsingle thing involved with the ABS and lost about 30 lbs.

You can have 3 channel abs with a 9" but it takes a little fabrication. Nobody offers it as a kit.

ABS is a waste of time just get the 9" and ditch it.

I think what people want to know is, has anyone swapped all the components from a 4/channel to a 3/channel car and made it work with the ford rear.
What would be involved ie.. wiring harness, sensors, computer etc.. I don't think I have ever seen or heard about anyone doing this. Can it be done with junk yard stuff without to much work/money? I don't know maybe maybe not.

My car doesnt have TCS and Im looking to buy a 9"... but I would like to keep my ABS. I do some traveling with the family... the ABS is "piece of mind" when I have my daughter and wife with me.

If theres an easy way to install TCS at the same time I swap the rear end then Ill do it... if I remember correctly I vaguely remember a harness being behind the spot where the TCS switch goes.. Im wondering if all the cars were wired for TCS from the factory?.?.?.?

TCS is run through you computer so I dont beleive you can add it after market, or if you could it wouldnt be easy. If you have 4 channel you can get your 9" set up for abs/tcs.

Yes I see that... but does it work really well? Does the signal cut out at all?

I email the guys at the place 00BlackSS recommended and this is the response I got:

Sorry, I have not found a proven method to use a 3 chanel ABS system with an 9". Only the 4 chanel is reusable with a 9" assembly. Scott K.

Which unfortunately is exactly what I expected.
