Inside of the drivers side frame rail, right about at the front of the drivers door.
It will have a brake line in and a brake like out and an electrical connector on the side of it.

I found it thanks. I didn't not realize my rear brakes never worked. Can I just bypass it? With a brake hose.

I just bypassed it with a hard line.
The fittings take an 11mm flare nut wrench and are 1/4" thread. I used 2 1/4" unions and a 4" piece of 3/16" hard line with 1/4" inverted flare nuts on each end.
I left the RABS module on the frame rail and left the electrical connector plugged in, as with it unplugged you will get a RABS light on the dash all the time.

WOW I was not expecting a list that detailed of how to bypass it. Thanks I should have waited longer to read your post before I went and bought a new RABS module. Anyone know what RABS stands for? Rear Anti-lock brake system? I could not find the part by searching by RABS but did find the part and its name is ABS modulator valve. Hope this helps someone else. I am now pleased to report my brakes work like new. Thanks Sasquatch_Ryda it was one of your old posts that I read and learned about what the problem might be and you helped me fix my truck. Thanks again.

Yes it is for the rear anti lock brakes system.
I couldn't be bothered to spend the $100 or so dollars to replace a part for a system that doesn't work worth a damn anyways. The 10 dollars I spent on fittings and a chuck of brake line seemed like the better option.
