Brakes sticking July 22, 2014, 01:11:03 am Yahoo Message Number: 147529Hello all,1984 LZ 20' 5.7L V8 42,000I replaced the Master Cylinder for the brakes about a month ago. Had driven around town about 100 miles. Took off from LA to Palm desert, CA. All good. Then after sitting through the weekend I start driving again. About 5 miles into my drive. (after stoping) the brakes seemed to get tighter and tighter. Pulled off, and couldn't move at all until they cooled down. Thought I was good. But then the same thing happened again only after stopping for gas. Drove about 110 miles and was fine till I stopped for gas.Bad master cylinder? MC pistons? Calipers?Also, has anyone ever used ACE Automotive in Blythe, CA?Thanks!!Scott
