      There is an option of both? Interesting... Then I may just keep the traction control active in my ABS build...

        I've heard rumors that Ford on some cars and trucks would use the door axle code for Trac Lock if the car had traction control, even though it isn't actually a trac lock rear end. I've seen several Aeros that were marked this way too. Its just one more thing to complicate determining what a car actually does and doesn't have. I don't know when/if they stopped doing this.

          somewhere along the lines, they changed the codes completely. I don't know how to decipher the later ones...

                That's a really nice P71 you picked up.

                It is true what others have said of the Ford traction control. It brings one wheel spin down to a point, but really kills forward momentum. I had friend with a MK8 with an Auburn Pro LSD in it and it worked out really well compared to my stock MK8. The LSD brought the traction control activating threshold up enough to not make clicking the trac control button off everytime I started the car mandatory like it was on my stock MK8.

                Interested in seeing the dark charcoal '00 you mentioned. Rare to find one with that color interior. Is it posted online?
