Hey guys
New here and having some trouble with my 1993 f350 cc 4x4 td. Have had a problem with the abs and emergency brake light coming on and off for the past couple of weeks. Then a few days ago while towing a 24'little pontoon boat across the desert the rear brakes decided they didn't want to release. I was able to loosen the lines at the master to release the pressure and free them up so I replaced the proportioning valve today in hopes of at least curing the rear brake problem but I've read that the abs and e brake lights may be due to a faulty air pump? Alls the fluid looked like puke so im flushing everything with brake cleaner as I go . Could the problem with the lights allso be due to the proportioning valve being bad? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

You should post this in the IDI section. You'll get more visibility.

A lot of times what happens is the rubber brake line from the frame/axle will fail internally. Then the fluid only flows one way.
