Hello DN,

I have a customer called me saying that he wants me to install a USED ABS module on his vehicle because the dealership had his vehicle since September of last year and part is not available due to back order.

I checked the list of Global A vehicle and its not one of them, so my question is will I be able to change the VIN in the used ABS module?

THANK YOU

Yes. That chassis didn't go to global until 14.

Hi Robert, has it been your experience that the non-global GM's generally will allow for a used ABS module to program and be code free of VIN mismatch type?

Hey Bill. I spoke with customer and we agreed with replacement and programming, Part is ordered so I will update the status once I have the vehicle in my shop.
