I had an issue where my brakes would lock up, almost feel like the truck was slipping. Turned out to be the booster plunger (rod) that engages with the master cylinder. It was too long, making the brakes engage even without a foot on the pedal. And then as it got warm, it got worse. I would start there as well.
