'97 Front brakes sticking

New calipers installed along with pads and new rotors. Master cylinder cleaned out and looks good. Pedal feels good and solid after bleeding and truck stops good and straight. After normal braking the calipers- mostly the front left- does not release fully. Ideas? Thanks.

Ideas? Two: Sticky slide pins, or a sticky piston or two. Replacing the caliper and.or lubricating the slide pins should help.

I saw a thread where the same symptoms were caused by the original rubber brake lines deteriorating on the inside, allowing fluid pressure to the calipers, but not allowing the pressure to release, or release slowly. Don't know for sure, but I just replaced my front lines with braided lines, and it is much better. They cost me a little over $100, but they are made to fit and were high quality...Good luck
