A blinking ABS light is telling you there is something failed in the RABS system. Take the truck to a dealer or brake repair shop and have them read the trouble code to find out what has to be replaced or repaired.

The ABS or RABS system is the Rear Antilock Brake System.
It prevents the rear brakes from locking up, so it has nothing to do with the front brakes.
You need to get someone to download trouble codes for the rear brake system.

Alright,, do u think autozone could help me on that
No, you need to go to someone with specialized equipment such as a brake repair shop or a Ford Dealer. A scanner that is different from the one that reads "check engine" light codes is needed.
Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir first. A low level of fluid can cause your ABS light to turn on. If that is not the problem, you will need some specialized help. I've just gone through that, myself.
Let us know what you find out.

Wheel my buddy went wheeling and got stuck in a real tight spot so i really had to yank him out hard and had to do it a few times in different spots, and thats pretty hard on a truck so thats my only guess, but hey he was so happy to get out of there because the rangers were on there way, he quick gave my a 20 and took off, then on the way home i saw him blasting up to were we were, But the guy didnt take down my plat numbers because i was only tryn to get this guy out
