Default Need Help!

i have a 99 ford f150 4.6l v8 and every time i start it up in the morning or any time i dont drive it for a couple of hours the breaks want to lock up, it only does it 2 times and it stops. secondly when i shake my truck back and forth it sounds like there is a clicking sound on the driver side back tire, i thought it might be my wheel bearing but took a look at it and it was fine. i would really apreciate it if anyone would help me
thanks

Please explain more front rear or all the breaks? Clicking comming from front or rear? Also check the power break check valve in engine compartment... Does it have power brakes?

First what kind of brakes do you have on it. Cheapo rotors and pads can stick like that. Clicking in the rear could be a loose shock, loose or unevenly torqued lug nuts, any other loose bolts back there including bed bolts so just look over everything and make sure it's tight.

This will sound retarded on my part but pull the offending wheel and drum assembly look at the brakes and use brake kleen to clean everything reall good check brakes are not upside down they will go on that way and give the exact symptoms you describe take a picture and post it or take picture to dealer and ask what they think... Check e brake cable works and is not bond up on something.... Let us know....
