Brakes let go!!

I have brake problems with my brakes 94 250 7.3 turbo 125k

ABS light on and off, pedal feels funny, sometimes hard sometimes soft, the biggest concern is the feeling of letting go when stopping from highway speeds, almost like a jake brake disengaging started all of a sudden . need help any ideas??

My abs light was on occasionally and then stayed on,braking was soft/slow inconstant. Found the rearend was failing-over1/8" side play in yoke,metal chuncks on drain plug and the abs sensor that bolts in top of diff had the end eaten off by the internal gear-probably drove it 1800 miles while it was failing-never heard it over engine and tire noise.Was at 130,000 miles.91 F-350 srw 4x4 never even opened it up, found a limited slip rear in wreaking yard for 400.00

I was talking about rearend not transfer case.You will see a abs sensor bolted into top fwd of the center section,its the only wires going to your rear differental.The abs and speedo sensors are different,speedo is in t-case.
