A '93 has rear ABS only. If the pedal feels ok, it's probably the wheel speed sensor on the differential. I'd check for broken wires. The parking brake light will light with a faulty ABS sensor too. I'd check that out first. It could be a bad sensor, too. Know anybody that can run the ABS computer codes? (a standard code reader only reads engine codes, you need a different computer to talk to the ABS computer)

Take it to almost any auto parts store Auto Zone ect.... and have them plug a code reader (for free) into the OBS and see what code it throws.
Sounds like a sensor is bad if the brakes are still good.

cant pull an ABS code with a reader hooked a genisys to it said i have to unplug some wires and watch the light blink to pull an ABS code, went ahead and ran the codes and pulled a 63 which seems to be a TPS issue, which would make sense since sometimes when i start the truck the idle will bounce back and forth
just another project gotta finish the exhaust and do the ball joints too ugh

Autoshack er I mean Autozone is the worst around, even worse that Rot Auto in my opinion. I like my local independent parts store, their new guy has been there since 1981 and they know their way around a vehicle. Slo Reilly here in town is pretty good too.

I read that you are equipment sales coordinator for O'reilly's, I figured a suggestion that might help would be better than none at all.......
Even though my suggestion didn't help at all, at least it was a attempt to help.
Though that maybe Autozone might have the test equipment that would help......
