Hi my truck when in slow speed and i press on the brakes i feel like the brakes lock and the truck nosedives, but only when cold like the 1st start in the morning, after that its completely normal... I know the problem is coming from the rear driver tire. I thought it was the brake cylinder so i changed it... it was fine for 2 days but now its doing it again, although not as bad a before. also sometimes when i press the brakes it shudders like in the abs. but i dont have any lights on in my dash.. please help

When you replaced the wheel cylinder, was there any brake fluid or gear oil on the brake pads? As far as the shuddering you feel, is it the ABS engaging?
