figure this out..

ok. i have no idea what causes this. bare with me. when its wet outside and only when its wet outside, my truck wont go forward. its perfectly normal in dry conditions. the transmission is new, the brakes are all new spare a couple parts. it goes in reverse just fine, but when i try going forward, the rear tires spin before the truck moves forward. ive never heard of water causing the brakes to stick or anything. im so lost.

Re: figure this out..

Sounds like something is sticking or dragging in the front brakes.

Re: figure this out..

like bob said it sounds like the brakes are hanging up.. Check to see if the flex lines are shot or the calipers are stuck

Re: figure this out..

when i push the brake pedal about half way down it goes "bang". not very loud but it does make a bang sound. then the truck rolls forward about a foot and locks up again. it feels likes its in the front.

Re: figure this out..

Do your rotors have grooves in them? Is this a 4x4 truck? You should get that truck on jackstand soon as possible. If you have the truck in neutral will it roll?

Yes you definitely have a caliper hanging up or they might be some sort of debris caught in one of your calipers or pads.

Re: figure this out..

the only 3 things that arent new are the driver side caliper the brake lines and the master cylinder. since before this i wasnt able to get the full efficiency out of the braking system, i might as well just swap em all. its cheap. should fix it... one would hope..

Actually I would see if anybody standing near could point toward which wheel or end makes the bang.
The rears could also cause this.
I had 90 wt all over the shoes in one wheel and they would stick once applied.
Also drum brakes (rear?) grab better going forward and not as good going backward.
So unless you get help to locate it, Check all four wheels.

Re: figure this out..

Yup I'd check your rear drum brakes as well. My rear cylinders went out in the brakes and that caused them to lock up really bad, once I got moving it was fine but I'm sure that it was major friction going on. replaced the cylinders as well as got a new spring kit and I experienced how much of a difference those rear brakes do make.

Oh and I had first noticed that in our school parking lot leaving one day, because my tires were spinning and I wasnt doing it on purpose and freaked out.

If it is both of your rear tires spinning though, at the same time, then I'd rule out it being anything with the rear brakes.
