Every morning when I start the truck head down the road to the first stop sign I end up not stopping. It feels as if I am driving on ice and I can hear and feel in the peddle that the abs system is on. Abs light comes on shortly after and the brakes work fine.
Check if abs connector is loose
Abs detects each wheel of the rotation.i will check from the tire then monitor with the scanner to see the abs sensor on each wheel and chk any fault code as well.anyone of the abs sensor have not detect correctly,it will be not working right.that's the basic of ABS.good luck

go to ford dealership and have them scan your truck with a scan tool
SOURCE: abs light on
I'm a Ford service adviser. There are many reasons for the
abs warning indicator to come on. The usual cause is from a
faulty speed sensor. Either a wheel speed sensor or the
differential speed sensor. I don't think the light is related to your
vandalism. You might want to take the truck to an auto parts store and
have them read the codes for you. Most auto parts stores will do this
for free.
Good Luck

Sounds as if you have a false activation of the ABS system.
If the light does not come on until you are driving then the ABS module is probably seeing a difference in wheel speed from side to side. It could be caused by different size tires,are all your tires the same size and brand? It could be caused by one tire having low tire pressure. It could also be one of the sensor rings esp. on the front has maybe cracked and slipped out of place causing the air gap between the sensor and the ring to be larger than it is suppose to be.The gap between sensor and ring is usually 0.045 of an inch sometimes the ring which is pressed onto the outer CV joint will crack and the ring will slid up the joint slightly away from the sensor.This will decrease the amplitude of the sensor signal and ABS interputs this as a wheel trying to slip or lock up and activates the ABS.When ABS activates it will make a loud pulsing type sound and it will almost feel like it is not going to stop.

In the pumpkin of the rear end there is an abs sensor. This might be bad or loose wiring at this point due to out in the open.
