The brakes on the '51 6400 have always worked fantastic, until about last June.(Haven't drove it since July, though) The right front cylinder leaks a little bit, but never much. Today I drove the truck for the first time after the overhaul. The brakes worked fine for a little bit, but then I noticed a light squeaking noise. That right front wheel cylinder must be acting up, as when I felt the drum after parking it pretty soon after hearing the squeaking, it was too hot to touch for very long. Before I tear into it, what do you guys think could be the cause of the problem? Is that just what leaking cylinders do, stick?
I know it needs a new wheel cylinder, so that's in its near future. (By near I mean in the next couple months) It's not a daily driver, and I'll be back at college in a few days, so it'll be a while before I get to work on it.
Thanks
P.S.- I'm sorry if this has already been asked before. If it has, just post a link to the other thread. I tried doing a forum search, but I didn't find anything right away that mirrored my issue. Still getting used to the forum and all its features.
