changed both front calipers, rotors, and brake pads. Bleed the lines, lubed all moving parts. Brakes in front seem to be locking up, after a few minutes of driving, not neccessarily right away. Have you heard of this problem?

To Michael who answered my first question, I don't agree, only because this problem is not limited to one side only. It is intermittent on both sides. Brake hoses have not been crimped or abused. Can it be the master cylinder? Not releasing the brakes.

Michael,
        To admit I never heard of a scan tool to to activate the anti-lock mechanism while bleeding the brakes. Please explain. However I have done the brakes on this truck, like three times previously. I seem to remember bleeding the entire system when I changed both front and rears.My question about the master cylinder was could it cause lock up of the brakes due to partial failure. No work has been performed on this part at all. The truck does have anti-lock brakes, and the brakes are actually locking up. I already ruined one set of pads because my wife drives a short distance to work, and the problem only occurs after you have been driving for some distance, then after you drive awhile the problem seems to come and go.
