After all this I blead the brakes. So now the other day while driving the truck it felt like it was struggling so when I pulled into my drive way I had smoke coming from all four brake....The brakes had tighted up when I was driving it or they did not release the last ime I presses them.
Anyone got any ideas why this is happeneing?

Also may have the pedal pushrod adjustment too tight too,

If they sit too long, the DOT 3 fluid will continue to attract moisture. It will build up into a crusty yellow crud inside the master and wheel cylinders. | | |
