I have a 96 SS M6 and am replacing my carrier with a 3 series Eaton carrier. I have the Eaton in the shop to get bearings pressed on and the guy told me that you can't get a ABS toner ring on the Eaton. What should I do?

 

So I've decided to eventually delete my ABS. I will only drive this car on dry streets. Will there be any problem putting this EATON carrier without the toner ring in my housing? Is there anything else I will have to do to my car in the meantime before I get a abs delete kit? Or just put the carrier in and drive?

 

which eaton carrier ? I'm running an eaton clutch plate carrier and the abs ring went on no differently than onto a auburn or torsen.

 

I'm not exactly sure.I bought it used. All I know is that it's a 3 series and it accepts 28 spline axles. Will there be a problem if I just don't go with a toner ring?

 

Should I have the shop put on the new bearings and forget about the toner ring? Gotta let em know, Thanx

 

Do you have the correct Eaton part? This article clearly shows the ABS reluctor being installed on an Eaton carrier:

Would I be able to get away with not including the reluctor ring since I don't need ABS anyway? Or does it have to be on there?

 

No,it does not have to be on there. You will get a ABS dash light always on.
based on your original post,maybe
-the shop doesn't know how to install it
-they tried installing it and have had no luck
-they broke it trying to install it
-you acquired an Eaton 3series carrier for 28 spline axles that was not machined on its' OD to accept a GM 3channel ring.

not trying to put down the shop that's doing the work,just looking at all potential reasons.

 

Yeah, I think I'll leave it off. I'm pretty sure the carrier doesn't have the OD to except the ring.
