I'm not sure what to say here:
On my 88s, the rear ABS light was always on and it never had any ABS. I never cared about it anyway. No issues.
On my 93, it *does* work, the light is not on, and I do notice it working on emergency braking. I do like it - it seems to help a bit with locking up the rear wheels.
I'd try to troubleshoot before giving up on it first, because it's not exactly a *bad* thing. It may not be worth spending a lot to fix, but if it's a simple issue, fix it.

What is the most common cause for the ABS light to come on. I seen where people were talking about the 99's are known for the speed sensor. I have a 93. My speedometer seems to work fine. I will test fuses should I change speed sensor? Is there a way to test the sensor?

Okay, those are stock size tires. Speedometer should be dead-on, or within 1-2 MPH. Is it reading 5 MPH high or low? And at what speed does it become inaccurate?
It's remotely possible that the speedometer was calibrated for some non-stock tire. How long have you owned the truck?
