I only drive my truck once a wek or less. When I do start it up the rear emergency brake sometimes sticks, then unsticks when the truck first moves. Today it started just fine, but would not move at all. When I apply the gas it just rocks a bit. It feels like the rear brakes or emergency brake is on. What is the problem? Any advice appreciated.

Hi there,

You will have to check the rear brakes to see if they are contaminated with oil or brake fluid, also check that the hand brake cables are not seized or sticky, this is usually the reason for binding rear brakes.
