I bought the truck from a used car dealer.It is in pretty good shape.Oct.08 I put on brakes and rotors.Feb.09 I had to put brakes on again.I noticed that sometimes when I am driving down the highway I can feel the calipers dragging.So I replaced both calipers with new brakes again.I also replaced the master cylinder and the power booster.I still feel brakes dragging when I get out on the highway.I can smell the brakes burning.I can sometimes hit the brake peddle and I can feel the calipers release.I guess the only good thing is that I got lifetime warranty brakes.Do you guys have any idea what is going here.

Replace the rubber hoses that connect to the calipers. They fail internally and may cause your issue.
