So. im not a brakes guy, i can replace them but trouble shooting i dont know sh*t.

So here it is: My right rear wheel grabs occasionally. seems like after ive been driving the truck it gets worse. the pads are worn but not dead yet, i get alot of pulsing when its grabbing and practically none when its not. when its not locking up or pulsing i have a lot less braking power but no lock up.

I also think that it does this morre when its colder out... but i i dont even know where to start to fix the problem.. my brakes were all replaced by me 10k ago and there is plenty of pad left all the way around as well as rotors and drums are good.

PLEASE HELP! its cold and snowy here and its a little sketchy driving with unpredictical brakes.
 
your wheel cylinder on that side is sticky, replace it, it's pretty easy but you have to completely take that side apart shoe wise... on the plus side they're only like $12. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON get the "Value Craft" ones from Autozone!, spend the extra $2 and get the next step up or get Napa cylinders, the value craft only last a year...

oh yeah, grab a big jug of brake fluid and flush the system until you get clean fluid at all corners, it will help the rest of the brake hydraulic system last longer
