My '05 Armada needs the abs module replaced. Looking at new ones I find them a tad pricey so I will go with salvage yard. The problem for me is after installing the replacement several items need to be reset and require a Nissan consult to reset. I'm a neanderthal in the 21st century and would appreciate any info regarding after market devices to accomplish these tasks.

There's no configuration or anything fancy needed on an '05, only recalibrating the G-Sensor and Steering Angle Sensor (SAS). See pages 65~66 here:

Most ABS-capable scanners will do work support for both operations, so DIY is possible if you have an appropriate scanner. If not, neither one is a big deal for the dealer, both ops will take 15 minutes total (including hooking up the turtle-slow Consult3+). Most dealers will try to charge you an hour just for walking in the door, and frankly you can get an ABS-capable Foxwell off Amazon or eBay for only a little more money. If you can find a fair dealer, half an hour would be a fair charge.

I'm 82 so this took awhile but no more horrible noises. Replaced the ABS module with a used one then had to replace both pressure sensors.
