Finally finished wrapping top of a door. Used Vivid black piano gloss vinyl. Installed window wind deflectors in same color. Now it looks stunning.

I think you should keep at it. With your current cost in the truck it is still FAR cheaper than any other work truck.
I had similar issues as you did with mine as I had to undo so many janky fixes. If I am following your thread correctly, you are on the final stretch as you fixed the brake lights and just have the ABS lights now?
If so you are basically there. These are easy to maintain once they are fully operational and given your price point, I would not be concerned until your bills start totaling $4-5k. Your truck in full running condition is a $6-8k truck (imo).

I found this ABS assembly what you guys think about it? I think it comes as a whole. I will take it apart, solder and add thermopaste rtv glue it and give mechanic to install. I got a gift card from company on $200 this should be enough to cover part.

I think this is a good dice roll. You get a lot of good extra parts too.

Unfortunately that seller doesn't respond at all. I found another one but that unit is from 2000 suburban 1500. I have my vin to a seller, he confirmed that part fits to my 2500. Does it really matter?

Eh… not sure. I would cross check the part number on advanced auto or another parts site to see if it is truly interchangeable. I am not sure.

You are right. I don't know what database seller is using. But he is right, also I found some other sellers that told me same thing

Can someone explain me how it works. If I buy a ABS unit from same vehicle, do I have to reprogram it? So far nobody can tell me. Some shops say yes you have to, some say no you don't just swap it. Some say oh let's repair yours it will take a week, price is relatively same , everyone is asking for around $500. But I'm on a crossroads what should I do?

Personal experience: No programming needed. If the unit is for a GMT800 Sub 2500, it will work.

Just received a unit. Looks not bad. Currently on a process of opening a cover.

I opened it but I don't see any bad soldering or some stuff like that . I will add new thermopaste and rtv. This unit looks solid..came out from 2500 2000 suburban 8.1L
