My front breaks begin to lock up after about 10 min. Of driving. Making the front end shake. I have changed calipers & break hoses. I bleed the breaks front and back. Any help one this would be great.

What leads you to believe they're "locking "up?

Because when you stop you can get out and see smoke coming off the breaks. Also when they stick you can feel the engine working harder. I can get out and bleed off the fluid on the front caliper and it is back to normal for a while.

It sounds like the abs is engaging on its own thinking your in a braking situation, I think its because the vehicle speed sensor or sensors, has debris buildup or there is chips in the tone ring, they will need to be inspected, for all we know one of the sensors may be disconnected. So it will need inspection. Thorough inspection. Of the sensors and tone rings if applicable
