I bench bled my master cylinder before install, and I bled my lines with a cheap bleeder gun from Auto Zone in the recommended order, furthest from the mc, first etc.. I did notice that the brake fluid was just barely flowing while bleeding. The brakes work for a few miles, then they lock up. After about a day, they're fine again and the whole process starts over. What did I do wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
UPDATE: I went home and messed with truck and noticed that once again the front brakes were locking up after a short drive. When I got home and put Ol Blue in reverse, the idle was enough to move him backwards. In drive however the brakes were keeping him from moving until i gave em some gas. Anyone have any ideas?
