What's running that's draining the battery? You don't have the motor controller for ABS.... I can't think of anything else that would be there.

Need more info. What year is your truck? (it is a truck, right?) What engine/trans?

Ok, you have four wheel ABS, that's the motor controller there. I think you can pull the abs relay out of the PDC (between the battery, and controller) and that will disable the ABS, (which likely isn't working anyway......). Should turn off the lites. I think.... You will need to take it and get codes read, to find out what it is whining about, and go from there.

I don't know.... plug it in, follow the prompts, and see if it offers anything for ABS.
