Brake dragging.
« on: September 24, 2017, 06:56:29 PM »
I have an 84 C10. The left rear brake gets tighter as I drive. Sometimes it will release in reverse but resumes tightening going forward.  Thoughts?

Check your brakes?

I had the same problem. I'm assuming you have drum brakes in the rear? If so, I would check the wheel cylinder and see if it's sticking. Mine would stick all the time and I replaced the wheel cylinder and no more sticking/dragging. Costs about 10 bucks or so
