Here is the latest update on my brake saga. I noticed on my way home from work today that the pedal feel was getting stiffer and stiffer the longer I drove. The brakes weren't dragging, yet, but the pedal was very stiff and had almost no free stroke.

I stopped to pick up the kids, as soon as I started to back the truck out of my parking stall I could feel them dragging. By the time I got home they were almost completely locked again. I managed to get a jack under it and check, all four wheels were completely locked up.

To me this would indicate a master issue, no? I don't see any other way that all four wheels could lock up like this if it wasn't. It would be one hell of a coincidence if all 3 brake lines were collapsing at the same time, or if all four wheel cylinders failed at the same time.

Id love to here what everyone else thinks.....
