That is great that they are promising to make it right.

The ABS module diagnosis sounded a bit off given the symptoms. Hopefully it quick and easy.

Yes it was strange especially the motor dying while backing out and not cranking but starting like nothing's wrong after a few more tries...

What seems strange to me is the oil temp gauge and coolant temp gauge go all the way up when the motor won't turn over but come back to normal the one time it's ready to start.

And by the way, I'm not hearing the click click click sound anymore.its just silent.but when it's ready to start it fires right up.

If it not cranking I would have them look at the EWS system. No clicks and not cranking means the starter solenoid is not receiving a signal from the DME to energize. Could also be a bad ignition switch.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I was also suspect about the module given that the 8.0 hasn't reported the same failure prone rate as the 5.7 module. Keep us posted...

Can you go back to the first post and edit the title to include the word "FIXED" at the end.
