Hey guys need help
I have a day cab prostar with an Eaton auto shift...bought it , test drove it about 3 miles brought it home...the the next day I tried to drive it I put the truck in reverse and it rolls back about 10 ft and the front brake locks up without touching the pedal...confused I turned the truck off and tried again....truck rolled about 10 ft and brakes grabbed again...so this time I actually press the brakes and I hear air release as I step on the brakes and the truck rolls freely once I release the pedal....this time it goes about 20ft and starts again...I've replaced abs valve under the cab..no major leaks truck did sit for a couple years no codes ...but on key power up position the modulator valves click and abs valve puff out air I don't recall my other trucks doing that ...I literally dont know what to do only thing else I see is some sort of I'm assuming electrical board screwed to the inner frame with air lines going to it dont know the same or its function...frustrated can anyone help out? Replaced the interior brake valve yellow and red knob...abs valve under cab was rebuilt the piston was siezed inside ...modulator valves pass chuff test no leaks when running ...at a loss right now...any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I’m not a mechanic!!!
If I read this right, your talking about steers.
Rule out air, disconnect the lines. Put a pressure gage in its place?
It’s a place to start… -
Sloan valve that distributes air to front brakes.
If you start getting into the ABS stuff it is very expensive to change parts and hope thats it.
Last time I bought a ABS brain it was just under $700.
In the long run its cheaper to let Simone who knows what their dealing with.
Good Luck -
When your brakes are locked on, follow the air line back from that brake to locate what valve is sending air uncommanded. Let us know what you find. I am not 100% sure what set up you have there.
