My '89 Suburban did something similar. It was because the rear brake drums were worn to the point that it was overextending the wheel cylinders and dropping the pressure in the system. The brakes still worked, but there was a HUGE difference in braking once I dumped $600 into the brakes...that hurt the ol' wallet, but a lot less than losing the brakes!

Hey, how does your 'burb handle on 35's? Mine has 33's (4" lift) and the steering feels a little loose comparted to my stock '87 pickup. I've replaced the steering box and the entire front axle assembly. It's a lot better now, but the steering box still feels loose to me.
