Alpha OBD VIN mismatch on ABS module

[Raff98]

I ordered a rebuilt ABS module for my 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. I only have 100,000 miles on it, hope to get 40k more. My understanding is that I will need to reprogram the VIN on the rebuilt module, since it came from another vehicle. Can anyone give me a step by step how to do this with Alpha OBD? Everything I find says “follow the prompts”. Can anyone help an income limited old man with a detailed, screen by screen instructions? I am very PC literate, just hoping someone would provide the details. TY!

Starting around the 5:30 mark. I followed these steps and had no problems when I did mine a few weeks back

OK, question 2. I am assuming worst case scenario. Assume I have either a bad module, or I cant get Alpha OBD to work reprograming the VIN. !Is the vehicle driveable if it has an ABS module with a VIN mismatch? I have a quote to swap out the module and reprogram the new module of $450. Will I be able to drive my truck to the mechanic/programmer for a "pro" to do it? Just trying to cover any "what if'" scenario's. I am on limited income, and saving $450 is a big deal to me. (thanks Mullet6577!)
