brake issues on 93
I've got 93 f250,4*4,460 auto.the question I have is at certain times the abs/parking brake light will come on,and will not go off untill I shut truck off.it may not come on againg for hour,a day,etc.when it does come on,it feels like truck works little harder to go down road,nothing extreme.and pedal seems to be firm to certain pooint then travels not far from floor.would abs sender,booster,or simple bleed be culprit?it definitely needs new hoses on front there getting kinda dry.thanks all.

i would first check the fluid level.
after that, i would check for leaks at the master cylinder, brake lines and on the backsides of all 4 wheels.
no visible leaks ... then off comes all 4 wheels and the drums for an up close inspection.

No visable leaks anywhere,however I noticed this morning that it appears to be brake fluid on back side of inner fender(in front of door).parking brake works as it should,but ill double check.how could I tell about booster being good?like I said its got a good pedal,then at whatever point it'll drop significantly towards floor.thanks again for advice

That's a classic sign of a master cylinder gone bad. I can't say for sure that's your problem.
