Body control module?

Hey guys, I have a suspicious feeling my BCM is slowly dieing on my ex. Would you agree with these syptoms?
-door key pad does not work. No lights.
- doors only un lock by key fob.
- sometimes I start the truck and it takes a few minuets for the radio and accessories to work.
- parking sensors some times work.( Doubt this one is related)
- speedometer seems to be off by a few MPG. All stock truck.
I thought most of this was controlled by the computer..
What does it cost these days to have the stealership replace?
Thanks

I'd start with the battery voltage and alternator current first.

Those are the only two that could be related to the VSM and they each have alternate possibilites. The rest of the symptoms cited have no connection to that module.
