1997 F150 w/ 130K miles, 15K on brakes. Recently, it started feeling like it was in 4 wheel drive when it wasn't. I pulled over and could smell that the front brakes were hot. I found the front caliper had a problem and replaced both front calipers and front brake lines hoses. Improved, but did not fix. I found that the pressure was not being fully released from the front brake lines...left and right seem equally affected. Replaced the proportioning valve...no difference. Replaced the master cylinder...no difference.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

Check that there is the correct pedal free play. as you have replaced just about everything this is all i can think of just now.
