Brake problem

Well, my truck's at the dealer. Front brakes seem to be sticking slightly while driving. The longer I drive the worse the brakes stick. I thought it was the torque converter slipping at first but when I got home, the front wheels were very hot and I could smell the brakes. Rear brakes were cool. Anybody have this problem before?

I have this problem if I don't remove the caliper pins every 20k or so and relube them with brake grease. It's easy to do, as long as you do only one at a time the truck doesn't even need to be jacked up. 20 minute job that pays for itself fast.

I've also found this out, lubing the caliper pins every few months keeps everything and everyone (me) happy.
