Either way, new parts are going on shortly so I'll be able to cross another thing off the list and hopefully be done with this problem!

Even if the bracket is rusted causing the line to be pinched, the result is the same. It's not a "misdiagnosis" and the repair procedure is the same: Replace the line. The brackets are there for a reason.

Brake hoses are cheap. Replaced a million of them, mostly for the issue you have. Only, I usually check the caliper for binding, then just replace the line.

It would take you over 40 years to replace a million brake lines by yourself,doing nothing but brake lines,24hrs a day for 40 years.
Gimmie a brake.

Well guys, looks like the consensus was right: the brake hose. Picked the new one up after work, replaced it, and took for a test drive. Drove for about 30+ minutes around town and country and didn't have an issue.

The real test will be setting the wife lose with it tomorrow, she tends to have a habit of finding a weak spot if there is one

Thank u all for ur advice, I don't think I would have ever thought of of the brake hose. Always something new to learn

Glad things worked out for you. For many years caliper failure (sticking) was common. With the improvement of using composite material for the caliper's piston, calipers seem to last longer, and we tended to see more hose failures being brought in to the repair shop I just retired from.

I have wondered what they are doing different with today's hoses or fluids
In the 50's 60's and early 70's hose collapse was very uncommon.
I started to see it a lot in the early 80's and it continues.
2 years ago I took my original hoses off my 1963 Impala.
I know they were original because I bought the car 6 months old.
The only reason I removed them was I figured it might be a good idea considering their age, and I was updating the single piston master to dual piston system for safety reasons.
I also have a '71 chebby peekup with the original hoses, no problem.

There is a fleet of 1/2 dozen s10 blazers in the family and all the front hoses have been replaced, as they have a hose mounting bracket that corrodes and pinches the hose, causing restricted piston retraction.
I think our lovely enviro rules, while well meaning ,cause problems.

We no longer paint or plate things especially undersides of vehicles, but I'll not get into that.
I'm sure we all could tell stories.
It is just a shame to see someones pride and joy that they paid $40,000
+ - start rusting, and having problems well short of 10 yrs old, especially in the rust belt states.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
