I guess the 2500s are different, mine is heavy on the rear brakes.

I think that because there is no load or even weight on your wheels, it might change the bias in the controller, I don't know. A good way to test them would be on the brake test station at the truck inspection place. But you said it looks like the brakes aren't wearing, so that is proof enough. Mine wear almost as fast as the fronts.

There is nothing in hptuners or efilive to adjust the ABS.

I was really hoping for an adjusting screw or something

I missed the part about the rears not wearing...he did mention that they're not dusting though. My rears actually wear faster than the fronts, but there's a TSB in reference to this condition that outlines accelerated rear pad wear due to road grime getting on the rear caliper/pad assemblies. Even with my rear pads wearing faster than the fronts, the front wheels dust considerably more than the rears...probably because the pads are considerably larger than the rears.

I wouldn't think that EFILive or HPTuners would have the capability to make changes to the ABS system since they are engine/drivetrain control softwares and the ABS is controlled by the EBCM, but I'm not familiar enough with either software to know for sure.
