Have Matty rebuild your original for the win. Is it $60 plus shipping still?

I don't know about the "best" but I used Matt and it works great and I would use him again. Its nice to have ABS again in the winter. I paid the extra and he shipped me a rebuilt in advance, and I sent my core back.

If you live in a salt area, suggest you also replace the screws with stainless hardware.

$65. Nobody really does that though, everybody does the exchange which I prefer anyway.

Speaking of.... I was going to go bowling tonight even though I have this mess to catch up on.

Many years ago (2005?) I had Vic Rocha rebuild my module and it was great: speedy return, reasonable price.... still holding up well so far in the car with no problems noted. At that time I hadn't heard about Matty Moo's service.

I am safe and well in control when ABS/TRACS activates - rain, snow, and slippery roads. It is a Dr. Moo's rebuild unit from Dec 2010.

Dr. Moo will take you through over the phone if you are stuck. Exceptionally patient soul!

That's about one-third of what I have. I've been trying to keep it where I could potentially go a full month without having to repair any. I've also been hoarding them when they come up at a reasonable price because they're starting to become harder to get.
