Default Rear Swap

I recently picked up a rearend for my car to swap out mine for. I currently have a 2.73 rear with no TCS. I picked up a rear with 3.42's that had TCS. What are the changes that need to be made to make the ABS work right in my car? I noticed the guy took out the sensor on the top of the rear...some sort of sensor i would assume. i don't know if mine has that on it or not...haven't got it out yet.

Anybody familair with this stuff and able to explain some to me?

Thanks

I believe that TCS has sensors at each end of the axle. Non TCS has the single pickup in the pumpkin. Re-use your pickup sensor in the new diff.

from my experience from this last week it's not that simple. since it has TCS it is a 4 channel abs, urs (like mine) is a 3 channel. The abs reluctors on urs is in the center section, the rear end u have has the reluctors at each end of the axle. From what what I have found out so far there is no "kit" to convert to 4 channel. If someone knows of one please let me know. If u leave ur abs unpluged ur ABS INOP and BRAKE light will be lit on ur dash, nothing big ur abs won't work in the back.

Really no big deal if my abs doesn't work. I don't drive the car in the winter. i have only seen the abs light come on with the pedal pulsing maybe once since i have owned it!! I can pull the bulbs on the light if need be....not worried about it really. Jsut thought if there was a simple change over...i would do it, to make it right. But, no such luck so far.
