One is using our SJM style solenoid; one uses a Hurst style solenoid. For all intensive purposes, difference is in the solenoid itself. It's an esthetic difference, not performance. Cost difference is due primarily from the solenoids.

Both are offered for choices to the end user, that's all.

Rear End FAQ!

15. What's the difference between a 3 channel and 4 channel rear?

A three channel rear end has ABS. A 4 channel rear end has ABS and traction control. A 'channel' is just a way of describing the means for a speed sensor to gauge the wheel speed. On a 3 channel rear end, the two front wheels have sensors, and there is one sensor on top of the rear end housing that reads for the whole rear. On a 4 channel rear end, there is a speed sensor at every wheel. 4 channel rear ends have reluctor wheels on each axle, 3 channel rears have one big reluctor ring on the differential. Because a 4 channel has a sensor at each rear wheel it can see the difference in speed between one wheel and the other, and ta-da, you have traction control.

SJM FTW:

Like stated above their really isnt any difference besides the name and the lower connection point on the hurst i believe is different. Pictured above is mine with the SJM solenoid.
