Sticking Right Front break?
Hey all, I've been driving my 1980 F-150 with an l-6, and it's recently developed what I believe is an intermittent break stick. When I think it's grabbing it pulls a little to the right, is harder to get started from a stop in second gear, and I can feel I need to give it more throttle to pull up hills. When I park it feels like the right front break is hot compared to the rest. I'll be able to work on it tonight and tomorrow, and I just was wondering if anyone knows what the deal is/what's broken? Thanks

You need to go out and feel each rim after you have the problem. I have had one of of the front calipers stick and the direction that it pulled was the brake that was working. The other one had gotten so hot it would do no braking at all, so check for heat first to make sure you are working on the correct side.
