Welcome to the club. Unfortunately no recall on this you will be out of pocket unless you have the extended warranty. Do a search on these forums for a fix. I did mine not to long ago.

Had mine done about 8 or 9 months ago. Cost me about $650 at my buddies garage. Hard part is finding a new module. They are backordered and have been very hard to find

The reason they are hard to find is there was a recall on them. I had an 18’ and had it replaced in 20’.
Maybe not a recall but a lot of them going out. I had to wait a couple of weeks for them to get the part.

Hello. After you all had your new modules installed (or installed them), did you need to get them programmed? I have received 2 different quotes/explanations from well reviewed shops nearby. 1 saying that all I need to do is bring a used module and he'll put it in for labor costs. the other shop is stating that he can get a salvage yard part (30 day warranty), labor, + programming for $1500. Obviously i'd love to get a new module but can't really find one since they are backordered but need to get the truck fixed ASAP. I can't seem to find a direct answer here or on Youtube that explains the entire process and troubleshooting. Thanks!

Mine went out a couple weeks ago on a C-2200-49 (internal electrical failure in the module). I followed a YouTube video on how to troubleshoot the ABS module circuit board. I found what seems to be a faulty (shorted) rectifier switch on the circuit board. I ordered the $3.00 part. Hopefully this is the fix. If it is, I saved a ton of money. If not, I'm out $3.00. I'll follow up with this thread if it worked or not.

One thing to note (if you want to go this route) the ABS module is sealed (no screws or rivets). I had to cut through the sealant that seals the case lid.
