I think this is only my 2nd post here as you've all done so well pre-emptively answering my other questions 
But, now... I am trying to get a definitive answer on whether or not the remanufactured ABS control module I just got (BWD, from Oreilly's) absolutely needs to be reprogrammed for my truck (the old one is toast). I really want to have my ABS back before the weather turns as am commuting 800mi/wk into Tulsa. I understand the VIN and tire size must be coded in and why, but is it crucial? Also, how much is reasonable to pay for a stealership to do it? What about DIY, with the right cable/adapter and software, could I do it myself?
Thanks ahead of time
p.s.: this is 4WD 4WABS (profile not showing that bit)
