Exclamation brake lock up!!!!

hello everybody,here is my problem the other day my front passenger side caliper was locking up so i put on a new one and it still did it so i took it back for another just in case it was bad but it is still locking up before the other brakes,lot more noticable when i have my trailer with mowers pushing the back end!!kind of scary,and my rotors are fairly new,no shimmy or shake in them or grooves,could it be that the caliper on the driver side needs to be replaced? it don't leak or anything and seems fine but i dont know if its requiring more pressure than the new one,can calipers go bad this way?
by the way its a 89 ranger 2wd v-6..please help...

When you replace one caliper, you MUST replace both. Not doing so will cause strange behavior like you describe.
