question and poll regarding abs module

[VXNIT]

So I have a used ABS Module and wanted to do the same thing, remove plastic side and not bleed brakes. How has this worked for you since you did swap.

bleeding the brakes is so easy though.. its a routine scheduled maintenance that should be done every 2 years anyway.. i could easily replace the abs module and bleed all the brakes in under an hour.. or if you dont want to do it yourself, having the brakes bled at a shop should only be like 35-40 bucks imho its worth it to do it or have it done

Brake bleeding is super easy if you get brake bleeders (see Rickshaws gallery). They are easy to install and allow 1 person to do the job easily.

Another way of activating the ABS is off roading. When going down loose rocky/sandy hills with your brakes on you will feel the ABS working!

I replaced my ABS Module last month. It was very easy following etlsport's ABS Module Replacement (How To)
Along with Speed Bleeders, took about an hour to do.

I Had Purchased A Used ABS Module For My 2001 VX Last Year For $80. I Worked Well For Over 1 Year But Eventually It Went Bad And The ABS Light Was Activated And The Scan Showed A Trouble Code Problem. I Did Some Research Online And Found A Rebuilt ABS Unit By Automotive Scientific In Rogersville Tennessee (423) 921-9085 With A LIFETIME WARRANTY For $229 I Received The Rebuilt ABS Unit But It Was Only The Black Plastic Brain Part. Installation Took 10 Minutes Because I Did Not Have To Bleed The Brakes. The Trouble Code Was Clear And Hopefully The End Of My ABS Issue ! This Was Sept 12Th. So Far So Good! It Is Worth To Spend A Little More For Peace Of Mind. To Install Another Used ABS Module For $100 Did Not Make Sense and Gamble How Long It Will Last !

HOLY MOLY Al! We've been talking about and using that company for a few years now, and buying it thru ebay is only $49 with lifetime warranty - - seriously, it's the same company and the same repair and warranty - for $49. I've sent two modules to him so far. And they paying shipping too.

Start reading this thread at about post #44. We've had lots of discussions on the ABS failure, and found a great option - Repair exisiting module with lifetime warranty for $49!!

Here's the current ebay listing: (Doesn't matter that it says Trooper - he fixes the VX one under this too).

Hey Frank (swift16),
I got mine here
Mine was from a 2001 4x4 Trooper. Paid around $130. The part number was the exactly the same 8971621921.
