Rear antilock

I recently bought an 88 F350 2WD with the 460 motor and a 5 speed manual. The rear antilock light is on. When I put it in gear to back out my driveway it feels like I have to “break” it loose and then when I put it in first it has to “break” loose and then it feels like it’s skidding for a minute. What is the problem there?

Since the ABS light is on, ask the computer what it says is wrong. Check for codes.

Is the brake fluid low in the master cylinder? That may have triggered the light.

Could also try unplugging the RABS module and see if things operate normally other than not having ABS functioning.

RABS Codes

As stated in the instructions linked above if the red brake lamp is also on you will not be able to pull any RABS codes. If that red lamp is on, frequently caused by low brake fluid level, that will also trigger the yellow ABS lamp.
