Engine Light and ABS

Got the news from the dealer and my main computer module for my engine is going out and the housing and the O-Ring are out on my ABS, at a toon of $3200.00. Which one would you replace first, truck seems to run fine and the engine light has come on twice while pulling my boat. The brakes seem to work good, just no ABS. What do you all think?

Recommend reading the ABS codes. Usually they can be related back to a specific sensor. Without knowing the code, everything is a guessing game.

The most common sensor failure is the one in the rear differential. My ABS problem was fixed with a sensor replacement.
