update guys, did the standard bleed after replacing the line the booster and the master, brakes are working perfectly so far, ABS has not worked since i owned the truck so that light is still on, However i am curious to see what this electronic bleed will do. I don't know if i have 4wabs, all i know is it is a two wheel drive truck with rear drums. Im not too familiar with abs systems and how they work in general. I appreciate the insight and thanks to all

Easy to tell if you have 4wabs, the brake lines coming out of the master cylinder would enter a large block (hcu) and you would see a cluster of other brake lines in the same place.

You could try to bleed the system many different ways to do it. Most parts stores do sell a deal that uses a color changing liquid to tell if there is exhaust gasses in the coolant.....Lisle makes one and I have used it a few times with good results.
