My search-fu isn't pulling up anything on a conundrum I have encountered working on my 2004 3.6 AT Liberty.
The jeep is getting 4.11 gears and a selectable rear OX locker. Original equipment was a trac-lok lsd in the rear. Rear OEM differential has the 2004 ABS tone ring on it, as well as sensor on differential housing. Vehicle does not have ABS. Does not have it in listed original equipment, does not have sensors on front, does not have control module, does not have equipment for it anywhere but in the rear differential. Vehicle also does not have any traction control systems. I am guessing that all trac-lok rear ends came ABS ready in 2004, whether vehicle had it or not and this is just dummy hardware on my vehicle, but am not sure.
In any case, do any of the Liberty veterans know if I will have any computer issues if I leave the tone ring off the new differential, given that the vehicle does not have ABS? Is that tone ring doing anything else the computer monitors that I may not be aware of in a 2004? I would rather not transfer it and mess with it if I don't have to for a variety of reasons, main one being I don't want to mess with the removed differential/gears and would rather let somebody have them as is for an easier install. They are low mileage and in good shape.
I have the factory service manual and it only shows the tone ring as ABS equipment that I have found, so I think I am good to omit it but I am hoping somebody here has actually encountered this scenario before and can confirm.
Thanks.
