Some people just need their truck back up and running ASAP.
The $58 part sounds like a great deal but usually people don't want to wait for it to ship while their truck sits somewhere dead.

My fpdm went out last week . When it did , it was just like someone shut the key off . It actually fell apart it was so rotted . It also blew fuse 32 which made it not crank
. But I know what you mean about needing the truck NOW . Had mine towed back to my work , $77.00 . New fpdm from Napa , $103.00 , Bottle of Motrin for stress headache, Twelve of Corona . So yep , can be pricey if you can't wait for shipping .

Don't wait go and change it out now. Nothing is worse when you are out in really bad conditions and it goes and leaves you stranded.
When I had my 05 I changed it out at 65,000miles and it's was really bad. I picked up a can of truck bed liner from menards and coated the entire backside of the module so I wouldn't have to worry about the corrosion happening again. I got one from amazon for about $60.

YMMV.

Just give it a very light coat of Fluid Film and keep an eye on it seasonally - at the same time that you do the usual seasonal spare tire drop to clean/fill it, service/lube the winch, and the lock over the hole.
Also not a bad idea to carry a spare in yer onboard emergency stash. Or relocate it into the cab.
good luck!
