Ford brake question

[423X2]

I have a 2003 Tioga 29V on a Ford E450 cutaway chassis. On my last trip the driver's side front brake was hanging up. The steering wheel was pulling to the left and the rim was hotter than the others. I had just completed a couple of miles of stop and go traffic proceded by 60 or 70 miles of Texas Hill Country driving. Any ideas or comments.

It's probably time to remove the calipers and lube the slides. Ford Recommends this and changing the brake fluid at least every 2 years.

I had the same thing happen on my F-250. The piston refused to back out into the rest position, the caliper isn't very expensive it's way easier to replace it than to hopefully fix it and possibly have to take it apart again.

That's the way our 350 was last spring. The Kenworth dealer ( truck shop where we have it serviced) replaced both front calipers and recommended changing the hoses which we had them do.
Kind of like the Work horse chassis brake problems.
