A couple years ago i bought all new brake hoses for my coe off ebay. I was putting the truck away for the winter and the brakes where sticking on the back axle. So i just got to check it out. I was looking at the brake hose and wondering if it could be swelled shut. I noticed that the hose was like a wet noodle and and it looked like it was sweating. It had a bunch of little dots like the brake fluid was weeping through the hose. I looked at the front and 1 of those was the same. I changed them all. The hoses said made in argentina also said dot. Probably some inferior hose. Im just glad they didn’t blow out . Any how I replaced the hoses and the brakes don’t seem to be sticking now. Hopefully that was the problem time will tell

Wow, That's scary. Glad you got it figured out before you took it out on the road.
