Fairweather Truck

my 99 ranger doesnt like rain at all, the day after a storm when I go to brake the front wheels slow down, but the rear ones lock up and skid, even in low speeds. I doubt this only happens to me. I changed rear brakes 2 weeks ago, but this has happened since March when I bought it.

You used bonded brake shoes didn't you? Bonded shoes swell up when it rains and locks up the tires. Riveted brake shoes don't have this problem.

Yeah, I've gotten used to braking early, and I always use riveted shoes.
