Passenger side rear brake drag...

The passenger side rear brake is dragging intermitently. It first occurred about two weeks ago, I noticed that the truck was very sluggish and I could immediately smell the brake. I let the truck sit for an hour or so (without setting the parking brake) then it was fine. I took it to the dealership service dept. where they checked it out and could not find anything wrong. Last night the same thing happened, so I let the truck sit again for about an hour and then all was fine. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this problem?

My drivers side caliper was sticking (and yes you could smell it). I sprayed some brake cleaner in there and tapped on it with a hammer, it seems to have fixed the problem becasue I dont smell burning break pad anymore.
