Its unlikely.

the more likely cause is a brake hose collapsed/split internally, after the brakes are applied the internal split is pushed back by the returning brake fluid causing a blockage in the line preventing the caliper piston from backing off the rotor.

My tires will turn 3/4 of a turn and then lock up on the other 1/4 of a turn. I'll find out soon, taking it apart in a few minutes. Good luck.


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.

Are Anti lock brakes the same as conventional brakes?

Anti lock brakes contain a spin sensor in each wheel.When the sensor detects that brakes are still applied and the wheels are skidding a valve opens and lowers the brake pad pressure until wheel spin is detected again. This process is repeated until the car comes to a halt in the shortest distance. The repetition rate of valve operation can be up to 30 times a second.
