[SEL] OT - 3/4 ton truck question (for the pros) Help please?

[Bill Dickerson]

All of the steel lines front to back, side to side are new. It won't hurt to
replace hoses - and it's not that hard a job. 
Might do it anyway, just so I can say "all new brakes" including all lines
and hoses.

Brake hoses can make crazy things happen.  The hoses may look fine on the
outside, but the inside breaks down over time and can clog up and cause the
truck to pull one way or another or cause the caliper to lock up.  I just
got done replacing both front hoses on my old beater 1980 Chevy pickup a few
days ago actually.  The driver side caliper kept locking up and I figured it
needed a new caliper.  But the caliper let loose when I cracked the bleeder
open... Clogged hose wasn't letting the pressure out after I let off the
brake.
