For your SAFETY, get your truck to a shop today! One or more of your brake hoses have blisters on the inside. Cannot be seen on inspection. These blisters typically come with age of the hoses and I have seen it happen to newer vehicles as well. Over time the rubber will develope tiny fishers, or cracks which under very high pressure will form the blisters. The blisters will fill with brake fluid under high pressure when the brakes are applied. They will restrict or even stop the return of brake fluid to the master cylinder under low pressure when your foot is off the brake. As these blisters grow they will cause your brakes to slightly drag and eventually cause lockup. Don't delay getting this fixed for your safety and for $$$$. You will experience a much lower MPG at $5.00 a gallon.
Caught early, it will be just new hoses. Waiting a while, will be, a complete brake job including wheel bearings. And finally, if you wait too long, it will be huge $$$$$, fire and total loss of your tow vehicle and possibly your Montana!
