So when I came home from work today I felt each rotor with my hand and they all had the same temp. One did not feel hotter than the other. What gives?

This may be your problem.. It was mine.
My truck was pulling to the Right Hard when i used the brakes.
Driving down the road the truck would slightly pull to the left.
I cleaned the right side caliper and lubed the pins twice and it still pulled hard to the right. I thought that piston was sticking out after braking WTH ??
Then i took the left caliper off and the piston was stuck in place.
I had to beat it to get it to move. i took it all apart, cleaned out the caliper and lubed everything.
All was good after that.
The left caliper piston was frozen in place causing the slight drag to the left while driving down the road.
When i hit the brakes, the truck would pull to the right because the right caliper was working correctly.
The left piston was frozen and would not move so it was not putting pressure to the pads on the left wheel.

I took my truck to a very reputable alignment shop and found some problems.
First off the guy was awesome!! I love it when you walk into a shop that is so clean you could eat off the floors or any piece of equipment in there
Anyways, so my camber ion both tires is leaning towards the pass side. Also the caster is off a little that will cause it to constantly pull to the right. He said it is minor but is defiantly causing my pull while cruising and cloud be contributing to my brake pull. He didn't have the correct shims or the time today to fix it so I will take it back next Friday to have the work done. I am very excited!
I will keep you all posted.
