Brakes sticking

The front brakes are sticking on my 97 f150. I had the claipers replaced the rotors have been replace. I'm not sure where else to look for sure. Do these still use a modulator valve or is this done by the abs? I think the truck has abs.

If there are wires going to the front rotor/hub area then you have ABS. Are both sides sticking ?

The right side is now. But I think the left was before I changed the rotors and calipers. The rotor on the left side was gone and the brake pad on the inside was bare metal.

Replace the rubber brake line hoses that are in between the caliper and the frame.

No wires, they would be in a small harness, then no ABS. You changed both calipers and bled them? Maybe a brake hose is internally colapsed preventing the pistons from retracting?? It's pulling to the right?

My truck did the same thing last Fall. I replaced the right side caliper and it's been fine ever since...

Are the caliper pins seized?

These trucks don't have a proportioning valve even though the local dealership wanted to sell me one for $338. It was the $30 rubber hose.

So it is back on the road again, till the next problem arises. Thanks guys.
