Default Electrical issues

This truck has always had issues since I bought it 2 years ago, a few days back my anti lock light started coming on while driving, followed by the brake light, then radio would go off along with overhead console navagation. Anti lock light would go off followed by brake light, it happens consistatly, but at randon intervals, sometimes going away after 5/10 min. driving but will reoccure at any given time.
Radio will continue to short out consistantly, most often after hitting a bump, I'm thinking a short or faulty ground, for the radio and navagation, but the lights coming on for the brakes are inconsistant, and will also shut down electric windows and cruise control, is there a unit that controls these together, that may be faulty, any idea's appreciated.

You either have a bad ground or loose connector.
Make sure the negative ground path from the battery is good. Cable and clean contacts at both ends.
Look at the wiring diagram for connectors that have circuits for all your faults. Don't waste money on high tech contact cleaners, use WD40 and make sure the connector / connectors are secure.
