Just sent it out last Saturday so I should be getting it back by the end of the week. But I have been driving and now the speedo is out. Hopefully it kicks back on when the ABS Module is reinstalled.

Any update? I just spent 70 bucks to have the dealer tell me it would be around 800 bucks to replace the defective module. The part alone was $560.
Does O'Reilly, Autozone, etc carry these? I'm tempted to buy a used one but it seems kinda odd to buy a used module from a truck that's been wrecked and obviously couldn't stop in the first place.

brake and abs light is usually the speed sensor in the top of the rear diff. in the parts catalog its sometimes called rear abs sensor. its probably not the 'speed sensor which is in the tail housing of the trans.
since it comes and goes, you might unplug/replug the connection, remove/check the sensor. its just a magnet but it might have a bunch of **** stuck to it.

The diagnostic reader couldn't specify exactly which sensor...not sure now, but I think it mentioned one on the transmission as being a possibility too. I took a chance on the ABS sensor. Less than 10 minutes to change. Be sure to clean/wash around it well before pulling the old one off. Lubricate the 'O' ring and re-install.
