Any help would be greatful

disc or drum?
if you have disc brakes than you will need to install a back up solenoid...
if you have drum brakes than you might have them too tight...adjust brakes until they drag and then back up 10 clicks.

Thanks! I have the drum setup and when I rebuilt the system I just cranked the adjusters down tight and then just backed them off a little till the wheel turned they may still be cranked down to tight I will have to crawl under there and try backing them off 10 clicks.
