So Truck has been parked for a week. It did this on the weekend. But after driving around for a bit in the lot it started turning. But its cold again. And when I drove it around the yard the rear tires were spinning but the drivers side front rear tires wont turn over. Just wondering how i can get it to move??
Thank you!!!

Are you trying to say they won't roll?
Most common thing is freezing so bang on the drum with the wheels chocked and the brakes released.
Second most common is a bad break can.
Third and the worst is either a cammed over brake or bad wheel bearings.americanmadetrucker and josh polk Thank this. -
A lot of trucks now a days gave no Lube slack adjusters and s-cams. However it's not no Lube forever.
If yours is like this it maybe that the s-cams are seizing. If it's not too late, you'll find a hex head set screw on the s-cam tube that maybe hiding under a label, a grease zerk just screws right into the same hole after removing the set screw and grease away. -
I've actually seen a truck where all 6 drive axle slack adjuster clevis pins seized up. 1 so bad that the wheel wouldn't release, the other 5 just dragged a lot. I would say its more likely the drum has frozen.

Just advice u don't won't to ever drive a truck or drag a trailer if all the wheels are not turning I'm sure u seen what it did to the tires
Only other thing I can thank of is
Are the brake pads good on that axel ?could b wore out pads and its trying to cam over on u
I myself any truck I get in soon as I release the brakes I stick it in reverse ease off the cluch and roll back about a foot most of the time if u got a brake stuck this will make it un stick but not always
Just remember if u ease off the cluch and the truck doesn't move don't force it cause more than likely ur going to tear up something
Many blessings to u hope -
Had mine do this after sitting here in Florida with 100% humidity and lots of rain. One brake was rusted stuck. Try going in reverse that has worked for me and also in/out a few times on the tractor brake knob.

Got it moving.. put some alcohol in through the air compressor. Hammered the brake drum a bit and it did the trick. It was too cold I guess along with starting the truck I should move it too. Thanks for everyones input.

This happens when you park in dirt or especially on grass. I’ve been through it once before and it’s a pain in the butt.
The other problem you’ll encounter parked on dirt/grass in Florida is ants. They will infest your truck.bumper Jack Thanks this.
