86 4 runner bone stock. When I was shopping for a runner how well the brakes worked on this one was one of my things that caused me to buy it. THe brakes were junk onn all the others I drove and great on this one.
I just changed jobs and went into sales because my job of 11 years was axed. Not happy about sales but I have a wife and two kids to feed so cant really be without. Also I am vested so really don't want to loose that now that I am pushing 40.
So now I work 3 weekends a month and I'm on closing shift for this week and next. I am going 8 days straight between my days off this week. I leave for work about 10:30 and get home at 8:30 well after dark. My garge is slap full of 1959 Caravanner so I have to work on it on the slopped drive. I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS.

Came home from work last night and everything is fine. Hop in it to head out for work this morning. Get half way down my street come to the second stop sign and hit the brakes. Peddle is suddenly very high, hard and not slowing the truck like normal. I press harder and I get a pop the peddle drops to a more normal point one of the back wheels locks. You can hear and feel the pop. Does it every stop from there.

I come back to the house and park it and took the wife's car to work.
Anybody had a simular problem and can tell when to start on sorting this out? I really don't need to do a all night wrench fest on this thing.
I can only come up with a couple things I think 'Might" cause this.
1 Something screwed up in one of the adjusters like maybe a broken return spring.
2 something hanging on the parking brake. Its not cold enoough for lquid in the cable to frees. Only down to low 50's last night.
3 load sensing valve maybe but really the symptoms dont seem what I would expect from a problem with it.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
