I bought this truck new in 1993 and always have had a problem with the brakes sticking every 20,000 miles or so. Usually after replacing everything, all is well for awhile, then gradually the wheels begin to turn harder and hotter, then the whole begins to seize up. Why does this happen? The first time it happened was in 1996, when the truck was out of warranty, and then aprox . every 20,000 miles thereafter.
Try a diferent brand of calipers and better brake fluid
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advise Adan. Many people have advised that My master cylinder in bad, or that the brake lines are obstructed, but right after I replace everything the whole thing works perfectly for at least 10,000 miles, the calipers turn freely and release properly. I'm beginning to feel a lot of resistance now and replaced the fluid but it hasn't helped. It's in the calipers (double piston) and I can't figure what happens to them."
SOURCE: stuck calipers
Brake lines are not releasing fluid back to master cylinder. Open bleeder and see if wheel will turn. If it does replace brake line to caliper
SOURCE: Brakes Sticking
u have an obstruction in the brake line that feeds that caliper so u need to replace the hole line or u might get lucky and just replace the rubber extension of lie at the caliper. hope this helps please rate me
SOURCE: front brakes are sticking on
Ok Have you recently replaced the pads? Do they act normal after they cool down? Are the pads in good condition, pads that are so worn that the caliper pistons come out beond their normal limit may stick there due to excessively worn pads. If so make sure they are at least factory grade quality Good are bendix, the only thing that can cause your symptoms is a bad master cylinder because it affects BOTH front calipers equally if it was a caliper it is likely to affect only ONE. Let me ask you this happens after driving in heavy traffic or after along drive?
If So there have been countless cases of boiling brake fluid, Old Brake Fluid gathers moisture and its boiling point is lowered, Fluch out ALL the old brake fluid and have new put it.
also is there any chance even the slightest chance that something other than brake fluid even a drop or two is enough to do damage. has been added to the master cylinder at any time? If so you need to replace EVERY PART IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE ABS CONTROLLER THAT HAS ANY RUBBER PIECES IN IT CALIPERS HOSES WHEEL CYLINDERS,MASTER CYLINDER just for your information.
I believe you have a bad master cylinder but do not buy a rebuilt one only bran new and preferably from the dealer.
Please contact me if you need more help and would you give me a good rating if you feel my information is helpful.
Thank you ,Randy
SOURCE: Right front wheel/disc brake? heat up
most likely a brake line causing problem. it is either the rubber hose or caliper sticking. the rubber hose will collapse and cause pressure to stay on the caliper
SOURCE: 1997 ford f250 steering problem
it could be the front axle u-joint binding up. i had the same problem, and that's what it was. i put greaseable u-joints on both sides.

I have yet to actually wear out the lining or the roters. The whole thing burns up before it even gets close.
