Driver rear tire is locked in reverse but going forward is fine. Hand brake is off. I really need help with this guys. Anything is better than nothing. Thanks

brakes locked up did you use your emergency brake if so then you need to take your rear tires of and unlock your back brakes

Does it have rear drum or disk brakes. Remove the right rear tire. If you have drum brakes, the brake material may have separated and got wedged against the drum.

It sounds like you may have a brake caliper sticking (if the issue is really coming from the front). Does it pull in one direction? One way to check is to jack the front end up and try to spin each tire by hand. They should turn relatively freely. Another possibility, and more likely from your description, is that the rear emergency / parking brake may be frozen. Drum brakes, by nature, do a better job of holding the vehicle from rolling forward. If your emergency / parking brake is engaged, either frozen or inadvertently left on, I would expect the symptoms you describe- moving in reverse, but not forward. You can check this the same way- jack up the rear end of the vehicle, put it in neutral, and try spinning the rear tires by hand.

Assuming your vehicle is a 4x4, a less likely scenario is that something's gone awry in the transfer case, front differential, axles, hubs.

Good luck.

Raise the rear wheels and see if they spin as freely forward, as
reverse.

hi this sounds like you might have rear brake drum internal problems, does the parking brake work ok? what might of happened is that one of the brake shoes inside the drum/disk might have thrown its covering and has gone around inside the drum and locked the wheel up like the parking brake is on there really isn't anything else to go wrong that would cause that, you will need to remove the rear disk/drum if you can, as it could really be any internal part broken like a spring or the self adjuster...hope this helps please vote

the rear differential has gone bad and needs to be replaced you can try removing the inspection cover and checking for metal shavings if they are present then defiantly rear end has gone bad

remove the rear wheels and inspect the braking system. something is loose or has been bent to stop you truck

thats serious... need to find out if its a brake problem or rear end , or trans problem. I would not think universal replacement would have anything to do with it, but thats strange.

It sounds like the parking brake return spring has broken or come loose. The only way to know is to pull the wheel and drum and take a look. It sounds like the pads are still closed against the drum and haven't released. Hope this helps.

Ok, Ck for residual pressure at fron and rear by crackking open the bleeders Use a box wrench so you can see if they squirt. Protect your eyes. If they have residual pressur, the front is acceptable but very little, The back should have none. Next, make sure the rear brakes are not too tight or overadjusted and you can pull on the parking brake cable and feel the slack. The brakes at the rear tighten with forward wheel rotation. If they are in full contact with the drum rhey will tighten up on their own, causing them to drag. They won't lock up becase there is no pressure to keep them against the drum until you push the peddal. Let me know if any more help is needed. _Ned
