Why do the brakes on your 1993 Chevy suburban build pressure then lock up?
If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.
What can you check that the spring brakes come on automatically?
-choke the wheels, release the parking brakes. when you have enough air pressure to do it, and shut the engine off. -step on/off the brake pedal to reduce to airtank pressure -the parking knob should pop out when the air pressure falls to the manufacturers specification (usually 20-40 psi) THIS CAUSES THE SPRING BRAKES TO COM ON. To check for emergency operation of spring brake on straight truck: Release park brake. Build air pressure to 100 psi. & shut engine off. Drain primary air tank & step on brake foot pedal. You should hear air exhaust from brake chambers & rear brakes should apply. This will give you controlled spring brake application if you loose primary air pressure.

How can you tell if master cylinder is worn out?
Start the car, place you foot on the brake and push and hold it. If the brake pedal very slowly sinks toward the floor, the master cylinder is bad. Of course a leak at the master cylinder means it is bad. Don't ignore any of these 2 symptoms as it can stop working at any moment, and leave you with no brakes. When looking at the master cylinder look at the wall or booster that the master is bolted to. If u see sweating, or paint pielling at the mating the master is leaking from the seals.

Why does my brake peddle on a 1992 jeep wrangler go to the floor when started up?
Very common, as long as the brake pedal comes back up after the engine is started its good. It takes a second for the brake booster to build up pressure.
