2005 Durango ABS Control Module Fits

[dietz99vcross]

So it sounds like driving without the module is not a great choice. I am not sure how many people are in my shoes and would like to get a rebuilt module in their vehicle but don't have an extra one. I would like to throw out a suggestion that if anyone has an extra module sitting around, perhaps we can start a domino run of rebuilds. My suggestion is if someone does have an extra one, I would pay a reasonable amount ($??) for them to send it to get rebuilt and sent to me, then I could replace mine and send it in to be repaired and sent to someone else, and so on and so on and so on. Perhaps each time it goes to another person the cost drops $5 (so the total cost is $49 + $5 + shipping costs) eventually everyone has a rebuild. I realize this involves trusting people, but I am willing to start the chain if someone has an extra unit and can decide on a reasonable starting price.

Great suggestion!

I gotta say it seems odd that a part that causes "fail" mode gets worse with total removal. IOW, are we really sure it can't be "normally" run w/o that controller?

I agree, that's a great suggestion dietz!
I think this is the first time running w/o the unit has ever been discussed, and xcelr8 is the only one that has done it (at least that posted here).

I believe I am the perfect candidate to start this domino run.....

I have 2 backups....a junk yard pull that SHOULD be working and one that I pulled out of mine and replaced with a different junk yard pull.


Little nervous to get rid of the "double safety net" that I created for myself but......I suppose its for the greater good.

Let me know whats next.

This is what Sue and I did just before Moab last year. She sent a spare unit to the fix place, they fixed it and sent it overnight to me, I had my mechanic do the swap, then I sent my broken one back to her to keep as a spare. Worked great but as you say it relies on trust. What I don't think anyone needs to worry about is the repair place; they fixed the problem and had it shipped to me right away!
