I wasn't sure which section to post this in as I am not sure where the issues is. I was towing our 21' travel trailer this weekend on our first camping outing and at the end of the trip started dragging a trailer tire. No problem there as I just took the hub off and the delaminated shoes out and disconnected the brakes on that axel. On the trip home it felt like I was dragging the trailer brakes again so after I disconnected the trailer at home I took the truck for a spin and it still felt like I was dragging something.

Hard to describe as you know when it is your truck you know how it feels. After my test run the front right wheel felt warmer than the left but not much considering how much drag I was feeling. Could the transmission be causing this feel? Could the front brakes be dragging?

I was hoping for some input from everyone before I started digging into it.

 

Jack up the front end and spin the wheels...listen for dragging scrapping. Could be simple rubber brake hose is bad if they're original or your caliper is bad....did you use your E brake? They could be the problem also.

 

Yep, what he said. Jack up and spin all four wheels one at a time. If you still don't find anything then pump the brakes up and try again.

 

A clogged cat will feel like your under load.
