Thanks,

Pull the wheel off and check the wheel cykinder for freedom of movement. If it is't stuck then the hose is most likely the problem. I would suggest replacing both hoses as preventative maintainance.

If the main one is broken, you can get stuff like that happening. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | My advice is to stop driving the truck until you do a complete brake job on it. | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 19 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2002 Posts: 19 | cletis, I'm definitely not driving it around like this. I was away at school for the last two years and after getting it running again I noticed this problem on my test drive yesterday | | |
