Not sure about Chevvies, but with my Ford it seems whenever I load it for the hills, I end up in places where I really have to rely on my brakes.
Normally, brakes work fine... but then I push that extra bit and the plunger in the caliper has to press really hard into a rusty zone. Of course, everything is already getting warm, and the caliper ends up stuck onto the rotor and won't let go.
Next thing I know, I am pulling to one side and things are really getting hot.
So, what to do? Sit in your truck and press the brake pedal really hard to make sure that when things are moving, that caliper is going to let go after applying the brakes.
Other than that, stop often at first and go around and ping or laser shoot your tires and brakes to ensure all is well. A two minute break after an hour, then another and another will let you know if things are well. Walk around the whole rig every single time you get out of the vehicle.
and have a good move.
