Service Brake Locking on

Hi, I have a problem with a 7FBMF locking its brakes on when steering is on full lock.
I have swapped the brake valve , brake master cylinder and orbitrol valve from a good truck and it still does it.
The brake pedal feels hard its not a problem with the brakes sticking as when the pressure relives the wheels turn ok.
Don't know what to try next.

The problem was a pinched return pipe from the valve back to tank squashed by the battery.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
