I have a 97 Ford F250 xl, it isnt driven that much but it has at times with my wife and daughter ( hasnt happened to me , yet.) They both say it feels as if the parking brake is on, and pulls to the right but when they check the wheels out, only the left side is hot and smells like burning brakes.Again, this doesnt happen all the time. I will be home soon to look at it, any suggestions? Thanks

Inspect the caliper piston might not be retracting due to corrosion or the barke hose there is collasped acting as a check valve
