rear brakes
mine dont work. i am thinking im not getting any fluid pressure to the back. if i am on ice fronts lock up very easy nothing from rearin 4x2, if i am in 4x4 and step on brakes hard i get the antilocks working all the way around as in fronts are working the rear thru the 4x4 and the rear anti lock and than kicks in and makeing it 4 wheel antilock brakeing and we only have anti on the rear. so i think the valve is stuck ,the rear has newer shoes and is ajusted .

if the abs kicks in then the rears are trying to lock up. no speed sensor up front. ice works wonders on the trucks, cant judge your braking ability on ice. get on some good dry pavement and lay on the brakes at 40-50 mph, see if the rears do anything then......

thatrs odd, i've never seen a truck with the wheels jacked up and you can still spin them with your foot on the brake. are you sure the master cylinder is working? do you have a soft or hard pedal? if something was blocked keeping them from working then you should have a hard pedal
