Hi everyone! The brake pedal on my 86 B2 has been sticking since I bought the truck about a month ago. It doesnt do it when I first start the vechicle up in the morning, but it seems after it warms up, it does it. The brakes work perfect and the master cylinder is brand new! If I pull the pedal up with my foot, the brakes dont drag at all! The brake pedal isnt binding up or anything. Please help me, I have no idea what is causing this. Thanks!

ahhh *memories of my very first post*
Anyway, the problem had nothing to do with calipers or master cylinder. It was the brake booster that causing it. It had some dirt lodged inbetween the piston-type thing and the wall, which caused it to bind up and not release.

Have you tried pulling the brake pedal up? Do the brake lights go off then?
