I own a eddie bauer ed. '87 Bronco 2 stick. The brakes seem to be on and im not sure what the problem is and i dont believe it's my emergency brake so if you have any info on what it could be it would be a great help.

So, what is the truck doing exactly? Please be specific.

I had a 1989 f-150, when I pulled the release on the emergency brake the pedal came out but was still engaged. I discovered that the springs wouldn't actually release due to the fact they were just old and didn't work properly. After I changed the lines to both sides and the one where they join to the pedal everything worked great. That might be where I'd check

stuck caliper? Does it feel like the front or rear. Put the truck on stands take it out of gear and try to manually spin the tires. they should all turn freely.If a tire has resistance, that should be the culprit
