    So a little while back on my way to work one morning my truck got super sluggish. My brakes were sticking. I managed to get it home and did a caliper rebuild as a temp fix. It did it to me again the other day so I went ahead a bought a new caliper. I wanted to replace both sides but all the stores only had the drivers side. So I slapped the new caliper on the drivers side I also checked the pass side caliper and made sure the boot on the piston was still holding and it was. So on my way to work today it did it again and I know for sure the drivers side is sticking as well as the pass side because the roters were sizzling.So my question is besides the master cylinder what else would cause this and would a simple master rebuild fix it or should I get a new master cyl.?

    brake hoses up front breaking up on the inside can do that as well, i would replace them with the calipers and do a real good break flush

    Yeah so I just put on a new mastercylinder and I hope it help but if not I will replace those the rubber hoses. Just in case I'm on my way home and it does it again what would be the best way to release a little pressure so I can make it home.
