Hi all its been a while, trucks running good so no need to post, now i had a leak with the rear brakes, replaced the lines and both wheel cyclenders and when i go to bleed them i can have the bleeders cracked wide open and i still have a firm pedal and very little comes out of the bleeders, any help would be great, i was thinking its a RABS issue

could be a kinked or damaged flex hose.

Sounds like the RABS valve is clogged. Time to bypass it.

What was the fix?

Did you replace the RABS unit (which has a history of clogging up over time), or bypass it?.

Just curious on your fix approach. I replaced mine on my 91 when I couldn't get flow to the rear brakes. Expensive, plus a core return.

Happy new year.
