hey guys the other day i had to have my truck towed i was going down the road and someone cutout in front of me i slammed on the brakes and after that the truck would not move got it home and took off the tires to find the last person the replace the rear brakes put the star adjusters for the e brake on backwards and never replaced the caliper slides, long storie short fixed it all and it seemed fine yesterday coming home from work stopped for fuel when i went to leave the truck would not move again had it towed back home pulled everything back apart to find nothing wrong put the wheel back on and took it for a ride everything seems fine again just down the street from the house taped the brakes coming around the corner and the drivers side wheel locked up. just powered it home only about 200' and pulled the wheel off the rotor and caliper were smoking and hot as hell compared to the otherside took the caliper off and it seems to slide fine on slides and the piston moves freely. i at a lose any help would be great.

sorry for such a long story just wanted everyone to know the story behind my problem

 

Sounds like your needing some new calipers, brake pads, and hardware.

 

i already repalced all the hardwarenand pads and also bench tested the caliper

 

I had this happen to me once and it was in the master cylinder. Got some crap in it and wouldn't let the brakes release. I took it off and just cleaned it out good. I had a plunger that was stuck. Has worked fine ever since then Hope that might be your problem also

 

thanks jazz i will pull that off tonight and take a look at it

 

ok so i pullled the master off last night and there some stuff floating in there pulled it all apart and cleaned everything also flushed all the lines with new fluid took for test ride everything seemed cool till i tried a panic stop just to check and now both rears are locking up and not moving please someone help i realy dont want to bring it to the stealer ship but i am running out of time and ideas thanks for your help sofar

 

When mine did it I had to push hard on the plunger in there and it finally let go and blew fluid all over me. Maybe there is still some sludge in it
Mine would push the fluid to activate the brakes but wouldn't let it flow back to release. Did they bleed out good?

 

yea jazz i took the hole thing off the truck cleaned every part of it out it looked brand new when i was done with it and, yes they did bleed out good no problems till i hit the road and it heats up thats the funny part

 

ok well i took everything off the truck today master,block under the master cleaned out everything with miniral spirits even the abs block not sure if i should have or not but owell hope i dont hurt the abs system that would suck but anyways even cleaned out the little block on the rear axle that splits the fluid to both rear wheels but ran out of daylight have to finish up tommorow and hopfully i have no more problems

 

Keep us posted on this, and I wish you the best
