On the way home today, I noticed a weired smell coming from my truck. When I got home and got out I noticed there was some steam/smoke coming from the driver side wheel. I looked around on the inside and it seemed to be coming from the brakes. When I touched the disk brake it was very hott. Does anyone know what caused this? Thanks for the help.

Your brake caliper is binding; replace that and it should fix your problem.

If the problem reoccurs replace the rubber flexible hose. Usually when the hose goes bad the truck will pull when braking.
