So just recently my trucks front brakes have been locking up. Some one said to adjust the rear brakes because I may only be using my fronts. So I adjusted my rear brakes then I bled all my brakes. I thought this would solve my problem well it didn't. I was driving today a car cut out in front of me I hit the brakes my left tire felt like it locked up and I went sliding through the intersection. My way home coming down the hill next to my house I slowly eased into the brakes waiting for it and all of the sudden it grabbed I slid down the hill and I tapped the brakes and kept pumping them and I stopped. I bought the truck last year towards the end of summer. The guy I got it from put two front calipers on the rotors pads and he also did the rear brakes as well. The calipers look new still. I cant figure out why it keeps locking up. When I bled the brakes fluid gushed out all of the calipers like a geyser. I properly bled them. I adjusted the rears. When I park my truck in my drive way my drive way is on a hill so I pull in and put the emergency brake on and put it in park. I come out the next day and take the emergency brake off and put it in reverse and let go of the brakes and the front calipers are locked the truck wont move then I give it gas and it bangs and the calipers release.
