Possible failure of ( booster assembly ) !?
However if still " jammed " after engine is off
sounds as if master cylinder has a failure also !!

got it fixed, it was the master cyl. that was stuck. seems the previous owner messed up the gaskets on the caps and dirt and water got in there and seized it. got a new one and flushed the lines and she stops like i threw out an anchor. cheap fix for what i thought was going to kill me.

runner,
That was a good cheap fix.
I had a caliper seize and it cost me $800.
The truck was towed to a shop.
I wasn't able to do the work myself, and I had them replace everything while they were at it.
Those rotors can get mighty HOT when a caliper locks on.
