Yes another brake problem

I have a 2007 ford f-250 reg,cab 4x4 5.4 automatic trans. xlt.I noticed today when I had the center cap off passenger rear wheel the wheel and the center hub studs and lug nuts were so dang hot I couldnt keep my fingers on them with out burning myself.Last year my local dealer replaced the lines and the claipers.Any ideas or some one with a simalar problem.Yes it is only that one wheel and I do use my parking brake alot.

special synthetic brake pin grease. polish the sliding pins apply fresh pin grease. you could pull the disc and check the park brake to see if its been dragging. if you were braking hard before you checked it might even be normal, i can't say for sure because as long as mine don't smell hot i leave em alone
