Default 2007 Suburban Calipers Sticking

I have a 2007 Suburban and the front Calipers drag/hang up at times. We replaced the front driver side caliper after it drug so bad it ate up the pads. Replacing it WAS NOT the issue. If i jack up the vehicle right now and try to spin the tire, it will be dragging. Any ideas? Both front rotors will be hot and sometimes REALLY hot after driving due to the "drag".

I asked my dealer and he looked at me like I was nuts! Please help me someone!

Welcome to the forum.

A couple of things can cause this. One is the piston sticking in the bore and the inner lining in the brake line hose separating and acting as a check valve preventing the release of pressure when the pedal is released.

Probably others that others can chime in with.
