converted to a single shaft?

I have a 1999 motorhome on a Ford F53 chassis.  It is displaying the
ABS light all the time.  Can anyone tell me how to trouble shoot this?
I have looked at the connections to all 3 speed sensors they are

I have a '95 ranger 2.3L 2WD. Every time I fill up at the pump there is
a strong gas smell for at least 3 or 4 days after. And lately I've

I'm having a 'sometime' problem with my subject stock F-250 - hoping
someone may have some ideas about a fix.
