Damaged reluctor ring OK, well the person that installed my rear end (12 bolt), didn't put the Tbolts in correctly or something since one fell out! No big deal, went to Strange which is less than a mile away and got a new one. However, the reluctor ring has a chip in one of the teeth (most likely from the bolt landing on it).
I "believe" this is the cause of my LOW TRAC light coming on when I hit bumps, lightly tap the brakes, give it gas.... Not safe since ABS is activating on slow stops on dry pavement...
So my question is, when I pull the ABS fuse to disable them, it throws a Service Vehicle light as well (((Not a Service Engine Soon))). Will this put the car in a limp mode? Don't have the money to spend right now repairing it correctly...but also don't want to kill performance/gas mileage. Thanks!

No. It should not affect the cars performance other than not having ABS. The ECM shouldn't even know that the ABS is missing. You don't need ABS unless you are driving under rain or snow. Which you shouldn't be driving a F body under those conditions anyways.

. Time to pull some more LEDs out of my dash! 
It wasn't even my fault either.
