Not long into out relationship I found a few brake issues.
1) when cold or wet the front brakes would lock up with the mere thought of touching the brake pedal
2) the dummy light came on after a couple weeks, signaling a loss of fluid somewhere
3) the LR wheel cylinder was leaking like a sieve!
I did my due diligence and tore down the brakes and found that the rubber and steel tube was likely original and the rears needed a lot of love. The locking up issue was collapsed brake hoses on the front.
A visit to the local NAPA and O'reilly and a quick swipe of the AMEX yielded most of what I needed. The fine folks at Outback Truck Parts got me going with a steel tube set that I desperately needed.
Not many pictures but I did replace the following:
All rubber and steel tube line
Both front calipers, pads, and hardware
Front combination valve (it was leaking upon inspection)
Rear drums (REALLY out of spec!)
Rear shoes, hardware, adjusters, and wheel cylinders
Both rear parking brake cables since they were seized open
After all that the truck stops on a dime and also stays put when I park, meaning I don't have to leave it in gear.
