    Have not had any issues with brakes sticking since that occurred. I think the brakes were out of spec then. After that tragedy with the fire I replaced the wheel cylinder, all seals, brand new brake shoes and cleaned everything to the best of my ability along with properly adjusting the brakes...

    For this recovery with the Ryder truck it was a solo mission, so I did not use the winch. Being that the winch is much easier with two people.
