1995 Blazer Brakes
My blazer is real touchy when I leave the driveway in the gravel. I can just barely touch the pedal and they lock up and slide, but once I get out in the pavement they are fine, anyone know what this could be?

it may just be the rear drums. (if you have drums) its a known problem as ive found many threads on it and it happens to my dads blazer when it rains. Only thing ive found to fix it is to clean the brake dust and re adjust the brakes,even thats a hit or a miss.

Thats possible as well... I am gonna take it to a buddy that works at a shop and have him look at it... Im not real good with that ABS crap... Im more of an old school car person

A 95 has rear drum brakes.
The shoes could be adjusted to tightly and lock-up on the gravel. Pull the wheels off and use a screwdriver to loosen the rear shoes a bit. There is a hole in the drum that allows this. There is a gear inside that adjusts the shoe tension on the drum. On the driver's side: insert screwdriver so handle is low, then bring handle up. This should loosen the tension. The passenger's side is opposite.
Now I may have this backwards...so after a couple of tries, if the drum does not pull off, change direction and try again.
