Some of those vans use a height sensing valve for the rear brakes to increase rear brake when loaded. If that is restricted, it will cause the front brakes to do all the work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

How hot are they getting? Brake rotors do get hot even when everything is functioning properly. Are they actually causing the wheel to lock up? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

So if you jack the front up and try to turn the front wheels they are locked? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

When they are locked up. Crack the lines on the master to see if they release. If they do release, let us know. If they don't release, crack the lines on the ABS modulator that go to the wheels. If they release, the ABS modulator is the problem. If they don't release, you have something going on with hoses, calipers, or hardware, such as sticking slide pins. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

What you should do is start a question of your own.
