Re: brake binding and fluid return issue

So... not really any work to update, but some observations
during regular driving the pedal travel is very short and firm and the brakes work free and fine for about 4 stops. After that, it feels the same if not slightly stiffer and shorter, and it just simply locks the front calipers. Sometimes I don't even press the pedal and they progressively get tighter and tighter... driving up a hill they seem to apply themselves... what the hell... opening the bleeder valve relieves it until it happens again

Someone said the rubber hoses can fail and with suction they collapse in and prevent fluid return. I'm seriously pissed at this truck haha if I remove the LSPV will it help the front?
May Bobby Long be forever immortalized in his work and deeds to the Toyota 4x4 community. Because of a select few including this wonderful man, none of us have to drive Jeeps. He will be missed.
