my f250 seems to have a breaking problem. The left rear tire locks up when i lightly touch the brake. But after driving a bit it starts to work normal. I was thinking wheel cylinder is locking up. I also use the parking brake alot on this truck since its standard. I guess that could be hanging up. Is there anyway to lube the parking break cable. The truck has rear ABS I was wandering if that could be causing the problem. Anyone with any ideas?

My Bronco does that too on light braking, but for some reason it only does it after it has been wet, or been in the mud. I think it is the wheel cylinders, but havent gotten around to lookiing at it. Sorry that didn't help much.

Ryan i know you had a truck like this before did the rear ABS do anything funny like that?

if your axle seal is leaking it will cause the shoes to grab and stick, making your wheel lock up.
