undefined
I just put on a new master cylinder and calipers, brake lines, new brake pads and had rotors turned but i seem to be over heating my brakes to the point of them locking up with just normal driving my pedal get hard and the drivers side gets very hot is this a bum caliper? or a bad master cylinder? or something else? thanks for any help you can give

I would suspect the caliper is dragging.

I would check the caliper slides and the caliper slide grooves. Use a wire brush to clean them up and use a lite lube that will not cake up dust like grease will. also did you replace both brake hoses?
