Default 2001 Tahoe Brake Issue

I have a 2001 Tahoe that seems to have a recurring break issue with the rear brakes. For some reason my passenger rear caliper will stick causing the pads to literally burn off. When I have the problem there is smoke that billows from the wheel and the brake pads are reduced to ash. This is the third time that this has happened and the third caliper I have installed on the tuck. The calipers are from A1 Cardone and I just want to be sure it is not the truck at this point and just bad calipers. Any insight will he helpful.

Thank you.

Possibly a bad hose going to that caliper trapping pressure in that caliper and not allowing it to retract.

Exactly. The inner liner collapses and acts like a one-way check valve.
