Default TCS/TCM on 02 5.9?

I know for a fact that i dont have the "black box" under the hood and that i cant do "wire cut/disconect" mod. BUT i read in this forum from a member in the 2nd Gen saying that when he got a custom SCT Tune he asked to remove the TCS/TCM (or somthing to do with traction), and it was removed and his wheels were all the way loose... so if the 2nd Gen has it than i should have it too and i should be able to remove it too with an SCT tune..right? i may not have the little box but it could be internal (PCM) right? im confused

I know the 03s can cut or disconnect the TMR (think I said that right) wire on the PCM to get more torque or traction but IDK about an 02 5.9

But what did he meant by unlocking his wheels more with an SCT tune? Ill have to ask the guys over in the 2nd Gen as well.

Im pretty sure his verbiage is off a bit. Guys running SCT are custom tuned which means they have a tune written for their specific truck. This can get you a lot more power and by "unlocking" the wheels I think he means he the power now to break them loose and spin them.

Yeah I've read this and was unsure before about the tmr mod on our 02s but I have seen everyone say that with an sct tuner you get torque management completely removed which is basically the same thing just with the tuner and not buying the wire.

If have to say yes. My superchips was stolen and now you got me wondering if I should just get an sct instead now...
