2005 Durango ABS Control Module Fits

[VX KAT]

How much time should it take to remove and reinstall the unit upon rebuild. And what is the estimated module rebuild turnaround time?

Thanks for the information bestowed in the earlier posts.

Can't help you on the removal/install times as I used a unit I bought from another owner here, and one from a salvage yard VX, but I'm sure one of the others will answer.

The two units I've sent in had a turnaround of about 16 days MAX. One unit I sent they had to do more testing until they ID'd the problem, took a few extra days.
They pay for shipping one way, and you can have them use a faster delivery for the return, you just have to pay for it.

Another way you can do it is to find a salvage yard ABS unit, and send that in (with YOUR VIN and ID). I'm not sure how much just the ABS module should be from a salvage yard as I bought it in a bundle of parts, so no individual price.

moss,

You'll just be removing the electronics portion from the top of the ABS module so it should be pretty quick as far as actual time under the hood. You don't need to (or want to) remove the hydraulic portion.

JAMAS or etlsport should be able tell you how long it takes to R&R the electronics portion.

The last two times I have replaced the module, I have replaced the whole thing. I even sent in the complete abs module to have it repaired. Its very straight forward to remove and reinstall. However, a brake bleed is where the extra work comes in.


As for turnaround time.....

dietz99vcross sent in his for my repair on 2/20/13.....UPS has it scheduled to be delivered to me today 2/27/13. One week from ship to receive. Thats pretty darn good.

Sue, one only needs to send in the plastic ABS module for the eBay repair, correct? That saves shipping the heavy aluminum distro block and a bleed. If you unbolt the distro block from its mount which is bolted to the inner fender, then unbolt the mount, too, you can move the chunk into position to unbolt the plastic ABS module from the aluminum distro block, all without disturbing the brake lines.

Correct, ASI only needs us to send the electronics part of module but I didn't want to mess with it either, so I just sent in the entire thing. Yes, realize it cost more for shipping that chunk-o-metal.

Did you install yours yet Bren?

Yep, I'm installed and all's well. How far down on the list is rollingmoss? I had planned to send my old one in to get rebuilt. I'll be $300 into my rebuilt unit once rebuilt.

My ABS serves me well driving to work before the snow plows finish up on my 30 min. drive. It makes stopping on snow and ice happen in a shorter distance. I grew up here driving a rear wheel drive pre-ABS car. I would recommend ABS for winter and for wet hydroplane stopping, but to each their own.
