Codes are B2900 and B2477.
The abs light has been on since 25 miles from the dealer lot.
We have been trying to get the dealer to let us know what needs to be done.

I don't think this is going to help you much, but here goes.
Regarding B2477 - from this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-f250-psd.html
Regarding B2900:
I keep finding it means "VIN Mismatch"
I wonder if this could be a result from a communication fault on the CAN bus? Check for loose connectors, or ones that are partially mated.
Sucks being so far from the guys who sold it to you. I wish you luck on solving this!
Does the truck still run? Will you be able to drive to them after the spring thaw?

Found some more information here:
http://www.justanswer.com/ford/5zemw...-abs-ligh.html
The diagnosis there was the ABS module has failed.
Seems like you may want to contact the dealer, and arrange a time after the spring thaw when you can bring it back in. Until then, allow extra braking distance. Maybe the dealer can ship you a replacement module, unless it needs to be programmed with the vehicle.

Thanks for the links.
Not going to pay the shipping back into the dealer as that would run close to $8,000 round trip.
Will get them on the phone and see what they will do.
I did unhook and clean/grease all connections for the brakes with no luck.
Pick-up does run good.

You are going to need the services of someone with a WDS or equivalent tool. A Ford dealer or a Ford specialist will need to reprogram the ABS and PCM to see if that fixes it, otherwise, you'll likely need a new ABS module plus the programming service. The workshop manual has the diagnostic steps to follow, but you are going to need the correct diagnostic equipment.
It would be cheaper to pay for a service technician to come to the truck than to take the truck to the dealer. Still won't be inexpensive due your somewhat unique circumstance.
Otherwise, just drive it with standard hydraulic braking the old school way (no ABS).
