Possible to add traction control???

**patriot1136** · 09-29-2007, 05:00 PM

stupid question, but my T/A doesnt have traction control. Is it possible to add it or no? Is it even worth it?

Lol.. if you want it.. I'll trade you the parts..

**Mr. Luos** · 09-29-2007, 06:08 PM

I had it.
No longer.

Not really worth it. I always felt in more control with it off.

What did you do to get rid of it? I'm sick of hitting the button everytime I get in the damn car...

Moser 9" without TCS or ABS.

Should be able to remove the wheel speed sensors...but would probably kill ABS and TCS.
I have the TCS and ABS lights on at all times.

Ah, fuck that.. just installed a 12 bolt. So I'll prob just get that kit to deactivate TCS...

I assume the one that makes the switch work backwards?
Never looked into that. Regular driving I didn't ever bother with it.
I did forget it racing once. I looked like an idiot trying to warm the tires.

Yeah, thats the one.... and yeah, I tried showing off in a parking lot at work.. and forgot about it.. yeah that was embarassing.. lol.

I just bought one of those SLP tcs "reversal modules" off of ebay, it is sitting on my desk, the only reason it is not installed is the instructions say disconnect the battery to install.....normally I would just think this is a safety feature but later in the instructions it mentions how long the car needs to run after install for the ecu to learn this new feature so I suppose not...I hate that feature on my car most of all, useless unless you live in the snowey tundra I suppose?

**Silver Streak** · 09-29-2007, 08:04 PM

I grew up in WI with feet of snow.. and learned to FEEL the road.. I don't want a damn computer to tell me what the conditions are and fight me the whole way...

How long does it say the computer will need to learn it?

**99'CajunFirehawk157** · 09-29-2007, 08:07 PM

Word for word...
"Start the vehicle and let idle for 5 minutes. This will initialize the TCS reversal module. Do NOT use the manual TCS switch during the first 5 minutes of operation. Turn off vehicle leaving key in OFF position for 10 seconds. The TCS reversal module will now be ready for operation"

SLP P/N#63014 for 97-98 and P/N 63015 for 99-2001

**Silver Streak** · 09-29-2007, 08:08 PM

Oh, thats not bad at all. How much did the kit cost?

**JHayesLS1** · 09-30-2007, 05:20 PM

I have a ford tru-trac 9 bolt and my TCS is gone too lol. My stupid light is always on tho for ABS

i love my ASR.
Perfect for when im tanked, riding shotgun, with the old lady driving.

but on the other hand, it sucks when you forget about it and make an ass out of yourself...

**Heartbreak1** · 10-04-2007, 05:52 PM

Why the F$%# would you even want TCS? If I had a dime for all the times that damn system screwed me over I would probably have a bunch of mods I don't have right now. I always turn it off now as soon as the car starts.
