I just replaced the steel brake line that goes from the Master Cylinder to the brake hose on the driver side rear wheel. After doing this, I bleed the brake line on the passenger side rear wheel only thinking this would take care of both sides. No air so I thought everything was ok until I started the truck and tried to go in reverse but the wheels seem to be locked up (not sure which one(s)). The parking brake is not engaged and thers IS a brake light on on the dash but that was there before I replaced the brake line.

Could there still be air in the system causing the front or rear wheel brakes to be engaged? How do I go about checking this if that is the problem? Could it be a problem with the parking brake?

Actually, air in the system will cause the opposite to occurr. You need to lift one side at a time to determine which wheel is locked. Let me know what you find.
