Bought the truck back in March. Brake pads were worn to the backing plates.
I rebuilt/replaced the entire system, except the vacuum booster and the combination valve.
After taking it for a ride, there was significant drag on the front brakes. All but locked up.
Thought it could have been air in the line, bad master cylinder, or possibly the combination valve.
In the end it turned out to be a misadjusted push rod. It was about an eighth in too long.
I've never had to adjust one before. Just thought I'd share in case someone else had similar symptoms.
