This weekend, while up in the Piney Woods of Deep East texas (where cell phones do not work), I had a wierd problem occur with my 2001 Yukon XL 1500 (5.3L). My driver side rear brakes locked up on me in forward drive, but were free in reverse. Well, it turned out to be the mounting bolt came out. No parts house or dealership were available, so I got 2 14 mm bolts from the hardware store with a lock washer and 2 straight washers and repaired it - replacing both the lower and upper bolts. Well, when I returned to Houston, it happened on the passenger side rear. So I did the same repair procedure. Question - what are the odds of this happening on both wheeles after 3 years at nearly the same time? Could it have been the rain we were having here over the past month (this June was second only to the 2001 Allison record)?
