98 2500 brakes locking up.
I haven't been able to drive my 98 ram 2500 for a couple weeks now due to injury. I went to drive it today and the rear drums were just locking up. I didn't drive it because i worried so i pulled back into the driveway and they locked up again so i left it there and went back inside. Any help is much appreciated.

Might just be rust buildup on the drums. Simply applying the brakes a couple times should clean them up.
I don't drive my truck every day, and if it sits for two or three, the first stop is interesting, rears lock right up..... after that though, it's fine. |
hmm thats what i was thinking but i drove back and forward a couple times and it still did it maybe its just really built up. it is also raining here at the moment so the wet ground makes me just skid along.

Same here... humidity will rust up my drums in 2 days of sitting.
Even light braking it will bite and lock the rears... I just drive 50-100 feet lightly dragging the brakes to clean it up. |
