I had to replace the entire brake controller unit in the fall on my Super Nova 6400. I was ready to leave for a Penn State football game and pulled forward in my driveway to hook up my tow vehicle and quickly realized I had no brakes and pulled the emergency brake. I had the vehicle towed (Good Sam roadside assistance @ no charge) to my local International dealer. The entire repair totaled $4427 but included a $1,000 core charge for the return of the old unit to Webco. I got this back less the $278 overnight shipping charge. I am told that this unit frequently fails in almost all International chasis.

Luckily I did invest in Good Sam extended warranty which covered $2839 of the repair. This difference was my $250 deductible and labor that they would not reimburse. The dealer charged 6 hours labor but Good Sam would only cover 3 hrs.

I would strongly recommend looking into the Good Sam Extended service plan. It costs me about $350 each quarter but does help when you have a major repair.
