Lube caliper slides and also where the pad rides. Are the pass side pads both even? May be a hose collapsing. Sometimes in a truck it is hard to notice the drag. Drive it until the brakes are fairly hot, then jack up the front end and compare rotating resistance on both wheels. If it is worse on one side, open that bleeder. If it gets easier to turn, 9 times out of ten it is a hose. Otherwise just lube everything up and replace the pads.
