Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

P72 Traction Control System, included active brake differential , $1215 option price. There was also P37 Traction Control System , included on/off switch and active brake differential , $870 option. Both options were for the '99 model year. Maybe someone here can explain their differences.
By the way , the total orig cost of the options you mentioned was $10,119 !The XRB wheel code was for the $2656 cross-spoke 18" - are those the ones still on the car ? BTW, MSRP for '99 cab was $74460, Coupe $65795, add $3420 for Tiptronic. Gives you an idea how much they have dropped , as you can get '99s in the mid $40s to mid $50s now.
