Brakes overheating Albert Dickens 8-7-06  
I am the original owner of a 1997 P30 Winniebago. In the last 3 years and 10000 miles I have the front brakes redone twice. Pads, rotors, calipers and hoses. I even had the system flushed and new high temperature fluid installed. After driving in stop and go traffic the brakes get tighter and tighter. It never totally locks up but it gets so hot you can smell them. Please give some clue as to where to look now. Thanks

Change the Flex brake hoses and renew the brake fluid with Dot 3 brake fluid--might be looking at rubbet seal under the master cyl cover--might want to replace it as well-

This sounds like a faulty power brake booster or more probably the length of the push rod for the master cyl ist to long, dosnt take much, the way to check is to find an easy to access line to the front brakes or preferably that bleeder screw on one side, drive till the brakes fell dragy then crack the bleeder for split second if fluid spurts out under pressure the master is holding it. try shortening push rod if possible if not pull master and dissasemble to see if some one put in oil or somthing eaqualy stupid and the seals are swollen.
Good Luck
