Right rear brake acting funny

So Ive never seen anyone have this issue before.. So if I jack the rear tires off the ground and put the truck in drive, the right rear tire won’t stop until I push the brake pedal all the way down as the left stops pretty tight.

So, I bleed that wheel then all seems well. It stops just like the other wheel does. Take it for a test drive and I can tell the truck stops a whole lot better. However, the next day it goes right back to where it was before. Done this 3 or 4 times and the same things happens over and over again.

Is this a wheel cylinder issue or maybe a brake line problem? It just throws me off cause it always works for about a day..

I'm having some rear brake issues myself. Without pulling the rear drums off and doing some visual inspections, it's hard to say.

Thankfully my issues are pretty minor so I'm waiting until the weather gets a little better. I live in Wisconsin, so it may be awhile.....
 
Yeah I was gonna take the drum off after work today. I’m thinking the wheel cylinder has a leak in it and air is getting into the system
