One Front Caliper Locking Up

I have a 2012 F250 with a 2 inch lift on 35's and one front caliper locks up randomly after driving for 45+ minutes. It doesnt lock up every time i drive long distances, but when it does happen if i let the truck cool down, it drives normally after. It has all factory pads/rotors and brake lines. The dealer doesnt know what is wrong with it because it never happens when the truck is there. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

I thought that it was the caliper that was causing the drag, but it was rust where the pads are keyed in.

The Slide Pins often need grease. If they are not frequently greased, They can stick and drag the pads.
Not sure that is your problem, But it's a common issue
