Truck doesn't get driven much anymore so yesterday i went out and cleaned all the dust and bird poo off of it and noticed the ABS light was on and the BRAKE light. What could be wrong?
Brake's seem to work fine

The sensor on top of the rearend probably. Pull the connector and clean it and try that first.

Ahh i looked even farther and it also blew a rusted brake line. Looks like i have to take out the gas tank to get in there. What would be easier doping the tank or taking the bed off? Also i guess im gonna fix the gas gauge while im in there

Drop the tank and do it right. Syphon the gas out into a friends ride. Replace the whole brake line.

It's not hard at all, the only PITA is how much gas is in the tank. If you have a floor jack or some one to help you it's even easier.

Well look in the DIY section above, #18 to be exact. And you'll be good to go. Props to the member that posted it.
