You never know when you may need some information that is posted on this forum.

 

Over a year ago THaaaaaaaoe (welcome back to the fold!) posted that his ABS light came on and the local stealership wanted over $ 1,000 to replace the ABS module. THaaaaaaaoeoe was directed by others to check out MODULEMASTERS for a repair of his ABS Module and save some $$$$

 

Well I tucked away the Bookmark for a rainy day. It started pouring on my Yukon...Yep ABS light, Brake Light came on and the ABS pump just kept on running. Oh yes the cobwebs were dusted off and I pulled the 60 amp fuse to the ABS pump.

 

To make a long story short and simple, Pulled the ABS module sent it off to ModuleMaster and with-in a week had my module returned and ready to install. Still only cost $ 150.00 for the rebuild. The repair quality is top notch.

 

Module master now gives you a 5 year warranity on their repair (replaces the 3 year)

 

$ 14.00 return fedx 2 day delivery they charge is cheap (actually got mine in 1 day!)

 

So Thanks again to the members here about posting problem solvers for our trucks.

Yep, got to love this place!! That guy is great! Quick turn around, and big deal I can live w/o ABS for a week to have about 900 $$$ In my pocket!

 

 

On the same note the $ you save here on that stuff, we just spend on mods for our trucks! :cheers:

The Mods are on the backburner for a while due to Katrina, Wilma and the Holidays....

 

So every bit I can save on Reapirs is a big help.

This sounds like a real good deal - it is legit? From what I can read on their website they say that the pump is still working but they just upgrade the module? For those of you that have had this done, does the ABS still work well or is this "upgrade" actually just turning off the lights on the dashboard?

Yes its all legit..I could not have been more pleased. i think he uses both names out there on the web

 

I dont know if i'd call it an upgrade.. Well I guess I wouldnt go sending him my module if there was nothing wrong with it. How it was explained to me is the resister in there is rated for the power that is given to it. Being it is ALWAYS maxed out, it burns out. So when repaired he puts in a higher rated one which is not being stressed as much.

 

Yes everything functions as normal, cant tell anything was repaird once you put it back on the truck. besides the fact your wallet will like you! :thumbs:

I could tell a difference after I reinstalled the repair module from running with-out one for 1 week. The brakes feel more "positive" not really a firmer pedal or anything like that just more sure in stoping.

 

I really did not notice anything different in normal driving when I pulled the ABS module off, Perhaps My ABS Module was slowly loosing some ability over time......

 

If the ABS light did not come on and the ABS pump kept running (meaning no failure) I would never have considered pulling and replacing (or rebuilding). No reason to do it.

 

With Module Master offering a 5 year warranty on the repair tells me they stand behind their work. What is the warr. for over the counter at the dealer or MR Goodwrench doing a new replacement? 1 year ? and it is the same marginal ABS module that you had before. only it cost you $ 1,000.00 to have replaced.

 

From a visual inspection of my returned module I could see all of the evidence on the outside of the stated repair work they claim they do.

I agree! no need to do it unless it fails.

 

I however did not feel any difference besides the fact i had NO abs w/o the unit. It does not make sense to me that what is repaird would cause any change in brake feel, its simply controls the abs module. but hey, I am not the expert! :thumbs:

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
