Completly replaced, drums,shoes,hardware,and wheel cyl. in April and RE lines installed when I installed lift. Fluid changed at time of lift also.
I had replaced drums and shoes prior to April after I bought it from PO. The drum on pass side had warped due to bad wheel cyl. So I replaced everything.
Only things I have not replaced are. Hard lines, vac booster, master cyl., or proportion valve. (if it has one?) Does not have parking brake cable or hardware either. (cable was removed by trail debris)

I did inspect them when I had it apart when installing the new lift. I do dirve it daily so doesnt really get a chance to rust.

The only thing I can think of is condinsation in the lines freezing and causing " anurisiums(sp)".Sorry can't think of another discription.
Maybe thats why it goes away after driving a few miles. Being in the rear only.Could my exhaust being dumped at the axle, above the line ( I'll get pics to give a better idea as to location). Cause heat, creating condinsation in line. Than freezing as it sits over night or longer periods of time.?????????????????????????? Or would this cause a brake fade? Not a lock-up.

               .....I would tell you it's your wheel cylinders but you already replaced those....I would try flushing the brake system and put new brake fluid back in like DOT3 Synthetic....

This is a common problem this time of year due to the weather. The drums get wet due to snow/rain. In return the wetness causes rust to form, or it simply freazes. This in retrun fuses the drums to the hub causing it to lock up.

It goes away as your simply rubbing the new layer of rust off when you start moving, or your "melting" the frozen ice away.

My GF's brothers car at least used to do this really bad since he got his rear brakes replaced.

 

Found a problem not sure it's related. The diaphram on the mater cly. lid had a tear in it and was filled with fluid. Don't know if it would have caused problem, but replaced it anyway.
No lock-up this morning.

Changed cap but didnt change fluid. Still no lock-up sence that. Come spring I'll be changing to rear discs. So at the same time I'll also change all lines and vac booster. I found the vac booster has a lot of surface rust on the bottom of it and a couple of spots that may be more than just surface. Also changed all vac lines and relocated vac ball from bumper to under hood. Think I am good till I do swap of brakes. I HOPE.
