ABS not working on 1992 f-250 4x4 w/460

I have a 1992 f-250 4x4 with a 460 and an E40D tranny. My brakes seem to be locking up and i have a pull and vibration when i brake hard. The pads look fine, but i just bought the truck and am the 3rd owner so im not sure when they were replaced. How can i tell? Should the brakes lock up? what can i do?

Your truck has a RABS which is supposed to modulate pressure to the rear to prevent lockup. If you are getting a pull and vibration while braking you need to check for warped rotors. BTW your front brakes will lockup during panic braking. Justin

How tight is your emergency brake pedal? It could be overtightened. Have you seen your RABS light on at all? I would remove back drums and inspect shoes and lube up the points where the shoes touch the backing plates. Justin
