The left front tire rim is getting really hot, I've changed the caliper twice and the pads as well but it is still heating up. When I changed the pads the one getting hot was worn completely out but the other side was like new. The wheel bearings are in good shape. I just don't know what to do next, can you help me?

Caliper pins or sliding clips at fault. Caliper must slide to brake and slide to release you truck may have pins ie. Bolts bushings maybe worn or clips that maybe rusted. Clean mating surfaces and lube with antiseize compound. After install apply brakes when released rotor should turn with some resistance
