Brake grabbing
Hey guys first of all i wish everyone a very Happy New Years!!!ow on to my problem,about a month ago i installed a new booster and new shoes.about three days ago i noticed my brakes grabbing every once in awhile.sometimes the pedal is way up top(this is when they grab) but most of the time they are down low,any ideas what i need to change next?it sure would be nice to be able to have normal brakes on this beast.

Re: Brake grabbing
check for leaking wheel cylinders.Fluid can get onto the drum and cause them to grab or lock up.

Re: Brake grabbing
Make sure your brake hose's aren't pluged internaly. Pretty common on these old trucks.
