Anyone know what this might be? Its jus enough for me to get annoyed by it, but not enough for me to investigate through means other than sitting on my butt and typing on a computer. Any thoughts?

Seems like the only wheel to get brake dust too. Is there a brake valve adjustment or something on these trucks?

The right line that feeds the caliper (rubber part) can collapse inside and their for wont allow pressure to close the caliper. Have someone in the truck push on the brake pedal and U loosen the bleeder screw up, then when their foot reaches the floor you snug the bleeder back up, then they can let up, you should have a steady stream blowing out of the caliper while their foot is going down. If you dont get any fluid out then that is where I would start IMO. P.S. Make sure the bleeder isnt clogged with dirt befor you start.

Thanks for the advice. I used to live in Winona, OH not sure if we are talking about the same beavercreek, oh though...

The same thing Brandon is talking about can also cause fluid to get trapped in the caliper not allowing it to open back up again, causing it to drag, causing brake dust. My truck did this-Nicholas

This has happened to me several times with various vehicles. Here's what worked every time: Pulls hard to left? replace right front flexible caliper hose. They get $#*% in them, and the other side works (flows) way faster. Fi4rst time, way too much time was spent checking the wrong side, etc. Brake dust gets on the wheel that has a good working brake. I won't swear to it, but I'd bet you a 12 pack you change the right caliper hose, it brakes straight. p

besides calipers (if they end up looking and acting fine) it can be your rear shoe...the adjusters don't work well...u may very well be way too tight on one side as compared to the other..a tell tell sign will be that you cannot remove the drum and have to back off the adjuster...you may also discover a seal leak in your rear drum causing the shoes to stick to the drum...happens frequently...lift the truck and inspect the fronts and rears
