So I've had the same issue on both my Rangers, 94 and 97, that if I leave the e brake engaged during a rain or even if it's disengaged during a rain but then I try to use it shortly after, it will stick badly and I'll have to either rock the truck with my bodyweight or use the engine to knock it free. I've also noticed a slight brake whine at low speeds even with the e brake disengaged. I've read several threads but none mentioned what is actually causing this. Is it the shoes sticking to the drums and if so why does moisture cause this? I can't imagine they're rusting together because like I said, the truck can be sitting overnight during a heavy rain with the e brake disengaged, then if I go to the store and set the e brake, when I come out after 5 minutes it'll be stuck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
