I believe the thingamajig option was only installed on a few, select '97's and that it was discontinued after that. Hang onto it since you have a rare one!

Sorry, couldn't resist. However, in all seriousness, I can't figure out what kind of thingamajig you are talking about. Can you describe it better?

Earlier years had the ABS Module mounted back there, does it have a lot of metal tubes going into it? That is likely what it is since it was later moved to the engine compartment.

I have an early 98. It is the ABS system which mid 98 was moved up front.

I think the cutoff was somewhat early in the '98 build, September '97 may be it? if anyone has the actual cutoff please post

If you have JL4(active handling, first offered on the 98's)then the ebcm is up front

there is also a 3rd version, GM basically omitted half of the ebcm bracket in '01 to accommodate the 3rd version module/valve, 2 bolts with the Driver's rack bolt instead of the 4 bolts/rack bolt on the L98/00 cars
