Default abs and brake lights come on?

Anybody know what's going on with my truck? It's an 07 xlt crew cab. Every now and then the dash lights come on and the abs stops working

Which dash lights? And what do you mean "the abs stops working"? You wouldn't really know it wasn't working without slipping and sliding all the time. We're going to need a LOT more information than this.

If you mean dash lights as in the ABS light and Brake light...you most likely have an ABS sensor going bad...there’s one on each front hub and a rear speed sensor on the diff...with the light on have the DTC read to find which one is the culprit ...

More than likely, you got some dirt/mud/brake dust buildup on one of the brake wheel sensors as techrep mentioned
