front diver side break hung up and caught fire. I replaced everything at the wheel including ABS sensor and calliper. Truck ran ok for a short time then same thing - caught fire and melted th ABS sensor.

What would cause the break on that one wheel to apply and not release?

Wow! I need you to check something. Can you compress the caliper piston? Also, have you ever replaced the rubber brake line to the caliper?

Let me know.
