    Buddy has a quad Axle dump truck and a crazy brake problem..if he lifted the bed and pull up to slam the gate the front tandem passenger side brake locks up and will drag..if he back up pull forward a few times it comes loose and works fine..just when he gets on it hard..what could cause this kinda problem..he replaced all the brakes on the truck and few months ago thinking that the shoes may have been the problem but nope

    Had a truck do that once. Clevis pin in the slack adjuster was seizing. Could be an issue with the relay valve/line to the wheel being partially blocked and not letting air release. Could even be a sticking cam.
