Default 99 SS question

I'm not too familiar with the options on SS cars...

Was it possible to get a 99 SS with a 3 channel rearend? (no TCS)

There is really no need to define, the Traction Control cars have a 4 channel abs system, and the TCS have a three channel rear end.

basically you should be posting in the gears and axle forum, but ill help ya out,

3 channel cars have a toner ring inside the diff which has a sensor mounted on top of the diff housing,

4 channed cars have 2 abs sensors at each end of the axles with toner rings pressed onto the axles,

to convert a 3 ch rear to a 4 ch is easy, you just find a cover for the sensor hole, then gring out a v shap at the back flange at the axle housing ends then just put 4 ch axles in there., your done,

to convert 4 ch to 3 ch takes a lot more work but can be done.

check the stickys in the gears and axles forum

The answer is yes. You could get it in a 3 channel.
